Along with the booming of intelligent manufacturing, the reliability management of intelligent manufacturing systems appears increasingly important. Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a prospective reliability management instrument extensively utilized to manage failure modes of systems, products, processes, and services in various industries. However, the conventional FMEA method has been criticized for its inherent limitations. Therefore, this paper devises a method based on improved FMEA model combined with machine learning for complex systems and applies it to the reliability management of intelligent manufacturing systems. The structured network of failure modes is constructed based on the knowledge graph for the intelligent manufacturing systems. The grey relation analysis (GRA) is applied to determine the risk prioritization of failure modes, hereafter the clustering analysis is employed to extract the features of failure modes. The results show that the proposed method can more accurately reflect the coupling relationship between the failure modes compared with the conventional FMEA method. This research provides significant support for the reliability and risk management of complex systems such as intelligent manufacturing systems.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
