In order to enable failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) to play a better quality control
role in complex manufacturing products or systems, the current research status of FMEA is …

This paper presents a critical review of Failure Modes and Effect Analysis (FMEA). Although
the method is almost 70 years old, in literature there are still many researchers, both from …

Fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) have been widely applied to analyze complex, causal-based
systems in terms of modeling, decision making, analysis, prediction, classification, etc. This …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to propose an integrative approach for improving
failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA). Design/methodology/approach An extensive …

In this paper, we introduce the system operational dependency analysis methodology. Its
purpose is to assess the effect of dependencies between components in a monolithic …

Validation of design methods is a challenge in design research, as there is a lack of
common methodology. This contribution investigates how validation of design methods is …

Global competitiveness challenges manufacturing industry to rationalise different ways of
bringing to the market new products in a short lead-time with competitive prices whilst …

Products for personalization require frequent dynamic interactions at all stages of the entire
lifecycle. Based on this, the researchers have been studying closed-loop product lifecycle …

In the context of model-based product and system design, the capability to assess the impact
of potential component faults, undesired interactions, and fault propagation is important for …

While cyber–physical system sciences are develo** methods for studying reliability that
span domains such as mechanics, electronics and control, there remains a lack of methods …
