Diagnosing and routing electronic service quality improvement of academic libraries with the FMEA approach in an intuitionistic fuzzy environment

Abstract

Purpose In this way, the aim of this study is to expand and evelop the application of this technique in FMEA to rank failure modes of ESQ of academic libraries in an intuitionistic fuzzy environment. Assessment of electronic service quality (ESQ) of libraries is significantly important according to their major roles. It should be noted that the ESQ has a significant impact on customer satisfaction, which improves organizational performance. Accordingly, low ESQ means waste of organizational resources and poor user satisfaction. So, there is a dire need to reflect reasons inducing failure modes in academic library ESQ. Thus, investigation of failure modes affecting academic library ESQ is highly important. One solution in this area is utilization of the intuitionistic fuzzy (IF) failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) as one of the widely used methods for prediction and identification of failure modes. Design/methodology/approach The present study in terms of objective is applied and in terms of the type of method is descriptive-analytical. The research sample included four experts of Yazd academic Libraries (Iran). To collect data, three types of questionnaires were distributed among experts. The purpose of the first questionnaire was to identify and reach an agreement on e-library failure modes. Type II questionnaire was used to determine the importance of identified risk factors and Type III questionnaire was used to prioritize the factors. Findings Results indicate that the difficulty of using websites, lack of provided information feedback to users and lack of links on the website to users' are the main priorities for improving ESQ in the studied academic libraries. Originality/value In this approach, the Intuitionistic fuzzy Elimination Et Choix Traduisant la REalité and technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution method were used to rank failure modes in academic library ESQ within the FMEA framework.]

Evaluation of Public University Libraries Websites in Bangladesh

“…Even in recent years, the internet has accelerated the evolution of library services (Maheswari, 2021) and computers have created a host of new possibilities. Several studies have been conducted on various areas of academic library websites, such as electronic services (Mirghafoori, 2020& Latifian, 2021 best practices (Feras Al-Hawari, 2021) and user satisfaction (Karani, 2021). They can be found in scientific journals.…”

Cutting tool quality improvement: a case study of electronic parts manufacturer

“…This study proposed statistical methods to solve cutting tools used in the electronic part manufacturing process (Govindaraju et al, 2001;Mirghafoori et al, 2020;Jeyaraman and Kee Teo, 2010;Walsh and Antony, 2009). The data gathered in this study were obtained from one electronic part manufacturing company in Thailand.…”

“…It is well-known as one of every electronic gadget's most useful parts (Govindaraju et al, 2001). In addition, it is also widely utilized due to its timing capabilities (Mirghafoori et al, 2020;Jeyaraman and Kee Teo, 2010;Walsh and Antony, 2009). Electronic gadgets, machinery, and even military armies are constantly utilized to heighten productivity and mechanism.…”
