Hassan, A; Purnomo, M R A and Anugerah, A R (2020) Fuzzy-analytical-hierarchy process in failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) to identify process failure in the warehouse of a cement industry. Journal of Engineering, Design and Technology, 18(2), pp. 378-388. ISSN 1726-0531
Abstract
Purpose: This paper aims to identify and reduce possible process failures occurred in warehouse. Design/methodology/approach: This research used risk analysis method FMEA combined with fuzzy-analytical hierarchy process (AHP). Design FMEA will direct the failure mode or failure of components into levels and will use it to analyze the product before it used in manufacturing processes. Design FMEA has a major point on the failure mode that caused inefficiency in the design while fuzzy-AHP used to reduce subjectivity in the weighting process. Findings: The results show that high inventory is the dominant factor that must be controlled by the company to prevent the risk of failure processes in the warehouse, followed by the number of stocks that do not match with existing records, and misplacement of machines and/or materials. Originality/value: This research used risk analysis method FMEA combined with fuzzy-AHP to identify and reduce the possible process failures in warehousing.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
