A hybrid of fuzzy FMEA-AHP to determine factors affecting alternator failure causes

This paper presents a method to determine factors influencing alternator failure causes. Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is one of the first systematic techniques for failure analysis based on three factors including Probability (P), Severity (S) and Detection (D).

Description
Summary:This paper presents a method to determine factors influencing alternator failure causes. Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is one of the first systematic techniques for failure analysis based on three factors including Probability (P), Severity (S) and Detection (D). Traditional FMEA method considers equal weights for all three factors, however, in read-world cases; one may wish to consider various weights. The proposed study develops a mathematical model to determine optimal weights based on analytical hierarchy process technique. The implementation of the proposed study has been demonstrated for a read-world case study of alternator failure causes.
