Risk Assessment on Failure Factors of e-waste Management Process Using FMEA Method

Abstract

Utilization of electronic products expansion dramatically in recent decades throughout the globe. Faster technological evolution is one of the causes of the high use of electronic products and makes the product obsolete rapidly. Therefore, this encourages the potential for various risks and becomes one of the problems in the sustainability of environmental management. Moreover, risk factors study in the process of managing e-waste has not been done. Therefore, this study will analyze the risk of e-waste management factors using the Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) approach. Several important information regarding the risk factors of the e-waste management process were collected using literature studies, interview methods, and fishbone diagrams. The risk factors were arranged in the form of questionnaires distributed to five respondents from various fields such as academics, the ministry of environment, the sanitation department, non-governmental organizations. The respondents were asked to provide a risk assessment based on expertise and professionalism. The result shows that several highest RPN values such as manual technology (729), number of technologies (729), legal compliance (729), and recycling costs (729). At the same time, other factors are still in the medium and low category. Thus, risk evaluation in the e-waste management process is focused on the highest risk category. Furthermore, this research can be an approach to evaluating risk management from electronic waste in DKI Jakarta-Indonesia and other developing countries. Further studies to improve the results of this research need to be carried out that will be useful for further action in the future.

Extended Maximal Covering Location and Vehicle Routing Problems in Designing Smartphone Waste Collection Channels: A Case Study of Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia

“…This problem, if solved using MCLP as done by Church and Davis [70], Murray [17], Boonmee et al [18], and Hartini et al [26] to minimize the number of collection centers that must be built, results in the same number of PCCs that must be built as with e-MCLP, namely 30 PCCs; the number of PCCs established in each city/regency is the same, but there are several different locations. The comparison of selected CCP locations from each method is shown in Figure 4.…”

“…This means that the government needs to develop and implement a formal e-waste management system, starting with the e-waste collection process. One of the alternative electronic waste collection programs applicable to Indonesia is the use of a dropbox [17], but Yogyakarta Province does not currently have any collection points for smartphone waste. Therefore, there is the need to provide a convenient collection channel for the consumers, which is expected to be a major starting point for a formal channel to waste management in the area.…”

Pengelolaan limbah elektronika di DKI Jakarta menggunakan pendekatan Soft System Methodology

“…Pembongkaran toner tersebut berpotensi mengganggu sistem pernafasan manusia dan menyebabkan kanker (Huo et al 2007). Lebih lanjut, hasil penelitian Rimantho et al (2020) menunjukkan beberapa nilai RPN tertinggi antara lain teknologi manual (729), jumlah teknologi (729), kepatuhan hukum (729) dan biaya daur ulang (729).…”
