An information fusion FMEA method to assess the risk of healthcare waste

A novel hybrid multi-criteria group decision-making approach with intuitionistic fuzzy sets to design reverse supply chains for COVID-19 medical waste recycling channels

“…This review of the existing literature indicates that most scholars used the MCGDM approach for the assessment of MW management ( Baghapour et al, 2018 , Ouyang et al, 2021 ), MW treatment alternatives ( Manupati et al, 2021 , Shi et al, 2017 ) and the location of MW disposal sites (Tirkolaee et al, 2020). At present, there is a lack of effective reverse supply chain design for MW during pandemics.…”

“…In recent years, the issue of MW management has been explored by a great number of scholars, and many MCGDM methods have been introduced into this research area. However, most of the MCGDM methods proposed by the above scholars are used to address the assessment of MW management ( Baghapour et al, 2018 , Ouyang et al, 2021 ) and disposal alternatives ( Manupati et al, 2021 , Shi et al, 2017 ). Through the literature review, we found that there are still relatively few MCGDM articles on the evaluation of MW recycling channels and the existing relative literature still has some limitations: (1) The evaluation index system of CMW recycling channels is not sound enough.…”

A New Hybrid Dynamic FMECA with Decision-Making Methodology: A Case Study in An Agri-Food Company

“…The lack of mathematical rigour in the formulation of the RPN and its subjectivity in calculating the three parameters O, S and D, is studied with the Fusion FMEA method based on 2-tuple linguistic information and interval probability to analyse the failure modes taking into account heterogeneous information rather than single type information. (Ouyang et. Al 2021).…”

Survey of FMEA methods with improvement on performance inconsistency

“…FMEA is a proactive reliability‐management tool used to define, track, and reduce potential issues 3,4 . Due to its powerful adaptability and effectiveness, FMEA has been frequently adopted in many fields, for example, aerospace, healthcare, and manufacturing 5–7 . The major steps can be restated as follows.…”

“…3,4 Due to its powerful adaptability and effectiveness, FMEA has been frequently adopted in many fields, for example, aerospace, healthcare, and manufacturing. [5][6][7] The major steps can be restated as follows. First, the evaluation information of failure modes with regard to the risk factors (RFs): occurrence (O), severity (S), and detection (D) are given by experts using a numeric range between 1 and 10.…”
