    A new multidimensional process type FMEA approach: Defense and aerospace industry application
    (2022) Uslu, Tugce; Can, Gulin Feryal; Delice, Elif Kilic
    Purpose: Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), one of the most used methods in the literature, is a powerful risk assessment tool. However, it has many weaknesses that need to be improved. In this study, in order to increase the efficiency of using FMEA; a new multidimensional process type FMEA (MDPT-FMEA) approach is proposed. Theory and Methods: The MDPT-FMEA approach consists of three stages. At the first stage, Entropy, Preference Selection Index (PSI) and Criteria Importance through Inter-criteria Correlation (CRITIC) methods were used in the weighting of the risk criteria (RC). The different criteria weights obtained from these three different weighting methods were combined using the geometric mean operator and the integrated (final) weights were calculated. In the second stage, Evaluation based on Distance from Average Solution (EDAS), Combinative Distance-based Assessment (CODAS), Complex Proportional Assessment (COPRAS) to prioritize failure modes (FMs) were used. In the third stage, different FM priorities obtained from these three different ranking methods were combined using the Technique of Precise Order (TPOP) method. Results: The proposed MDPT-FMEA approach has been applied in a company operating in the defense and aerospace industry to evaluate the process-based FMs that may arise. In this study, different perspectives of different weighting and ranking methods are reflected in final criteria weights and final FM rankings. Conclusion: For the first time, different weighting and different ranking methods are combined in FMEA. As a result of the Spearman Correlation Coefficient calculation, the validity of both of the final criteria weights obtained and the final FM rankings were discussed.

    Image processing based rapid upper limb assessment method
    (2017) Can, Gulin Feryal; Figlali, Nilgun
    Occupational Musculoskeletal System Disorders (OMSDs) are disorders that inflict a great deal of economical burden on enterprises and nations, decrease quality, productivity and cause inability to sustain livings of employees. One of the most important factor that cause OMSDs is working posture. In literature, there are various methods for determining risk levels of working postures. In this study because of its common usage, Rapid Upper Limb Assessment Method (RULA) that identfies hazard level created by working postures on employees' upper limb musculoskeletal health is selected for improving with image processing systems. It is necassary to improve RULA's performance due to complications stemming from its implementation method based on observation, lack of information on the best duration of observation, subjectivity on results and extensive analysis time etc. For compansate these requirements a modified method is proposed in this study named as Advanced RULA (ARULA). Reliability and validity analysis are implemented statistically for ARULA. As a result, ARULA is recommended as a practical tool for analyzing risk levels of working postures for tasks that contain intensive usage of upper extremity.
