Abstract

In this chapter, we propose a new risk priority model using interval 2-tuple hybrid weighted distance (ITHWD) measure to solve the problems and improve the performance of the traditional FMEA method. The new model can not only handle the uncertainty and diversity of FMEA team members’ risk assessments but also consider the subjective and objective weights of risk factors in the risk ranking process. Moreover, it has exact characteristic and can avoid information distortion and loss in the linguistic information processing. Finally, a case study of blood transfusion is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and benefits of the proposed FMEA method.
