“…FMEA has been used to identify the critical risk events and predict a system failure to avoid or reduce the potential failure modes and their effect on operations. FMECA is composed of two separates analyses, the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and the Criticality Analysis (CA) [2]. FMEA includes a list of possible device failure modes, failure causes, local and final effects that refers to the impact of each failure on the system element and the whole system respectively, and the alternative recommended corrective actions to avoid each failure.…”

Risk priority number (RPN) is a widely used approach, and it is a powerful means to assess the criticality of modes in a failure modes, effects, and criticality analysis (FMECA) worksheet. In the application of the traditional FMECA, the RPN is determined to rank the failure modes; however, the method has been criticized several times for having many drawbacks and weaknesses, such as the presence of gaps in the range of admissible values, the duplicates value provided by different combinations of the base factors, and the high sensitivity to small changes. This paper analyses and compares some alternative RPN formulation proposed in the literature to overcome these limits. This paper takes into account only the alternative RPN, which proposes a powerful solution without increasing the computational complexity and remaining coherent to the classical idea included in the international standard IEC 60812. In order to compare the advantages and disadvantages of these alternative RPNs, an FMECA was developed for a heating, ventilation, and air condition (HVAC) system in railway application. The critical analysis of the comparison can provide recommendations and suggestions regarding the choice of the alternative RPN based on the type of application. Finally, this paper takes into account the scales reduction of possible values related to the parameters (i.e., occurrence, severity, and detection), which influence the assessment of the RPN. This approach allows the designers to mitigate the drawbacks related to the full scale and provide an easier and faster assessment of the scores to evaluate the criticality analysis and prioritization.

“…Meanwhile, D is ranked in a reversers order, as the probability of failure mode of higher the detection value and the lower the detection. Ultimately, in brief, the overall RPN values are within the values from 1 to 1000 (Catelani et al, 2016).…”

Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) in Indonesia’s Construction Project through Lens of Improvement and Decision-Making Strategy

Construction project within construction industry is deemed as high process industry through its perspectives of reliability and quality. Therefore, misconduct of the execution in this industry plays vital role of generating wide array of accidents and diseases. On empirical perspectives and on Indonesia's Construction project the risk intertwines wide spectrum of activities and processes. To some extent, it requires improvement and decision-making strategy. Subsequently, on theoretical perspectives, the risk mitigations in construction industry have been implemented. To begin with, failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) is deemed conventional method in proceeding vis-à-vis construction industry. Furthermore, FMEA is followed by other methods, e.g., FTA, known as fault tree analysis; ETA, identified as event tree analysis. Ultimately, there are HAZOP study, as refer to hazard and operability study, and root cause analysis. The objective of this paper is to harness the theoretical and empirical perspectives of FMEA through the lens of improvement and decision-making strategy, within Indonesia's construction project. In term of improvement strategy, FMEA contributes not only to improvement strategy but also in failure risk reprioritization within FMEA methodology. Precisely, this FMEA methodology, is using index of risk priority number, namely RPN, through trilogy of detection ability (D), occurrence (O), and severity (S). In term of decision-making strategy, FMEA contributes to lean and sustainability concept, to some options of reducing waste with goal of augmenting productivity and enhancing customer's value proposition. This paper refers to the FMEA's improvement and decision-making strategy in both theoretical and empirical perspectives within Indonesia's construction project and its relevant research methodology. Ultimately, this paper elaborates integrated FMEA within bibliometric analysis as the result of Venn Diagram's Intersection among functional FMEA, process FMEA and design FMEA.
