    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.

    Improving the rapid office strain assessment method with an integrated multi-criteria decision making approach
    (2020) Delice, Elif Kilic; Can, Gulin Feryal; Kahya, Emin
    Nowadays, work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMDs) are gradually increasing. This not only reduces work efficiency but also negatively affects workers' health. For this reason, it is important to design the working environment based on ergonomic principles in order to prevent WMDs before they occur. In addition, before starting ergonomic design improvement activities in the enterprises, it is necessary to identify the departments with high strain levels and evaluate the design of the office components in these departments. In this study, an integrated multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) approach was proposed based on the Rapid Office Strain Assessment (ROSA) method to determine the strain level caused by office components and to identify the departments to be ergonomically improved according to these levels. In the proposed approach, the strain level related to office components was evaluated by ROSA method. To determine the importance weights of office components on strain levels, Step-by-Step Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) was used. Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment (WASPAS) method was applied to order the departments according to the strain levels. The proposed approach was implemented in a company operating in the aviation industry. As a result, the most important office component that increases the strain level was determined as the chair, while the Manufacturing Engineering and R & D departments were determined as the units with the highest strain levels. Additionally, by performing sensitivity and comparative analysis, changes in the departments' rankings were evaluated.
