FMEA Using ITL-ELECTRE Approach and Its Application to Proton Beam Radiotherapy

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Improved FMEA Methods for Proactive Healthcare Risk Analysis

Abstract

In this chapter, we describe the application of an ELimination Et Choix Traduisant la REalité (ELECTRE)-based outranking approach for FMEA within the interval 2-tuple linguistic environment. Considering different types of FMEA team members’ assessment information, we employ a hybrid weighted averaging (HWA) to construct the group assessment matrix and use a modified ELECTRE method to analyze the group interval 2-tuple linguistic data. Furthermore, the new risk ranking model deals with the subjective and objective weights of risk factors concurrently, considering the degree of importance that each concept has in the risk analysis. The practicality and applicability of the proposed FMEA method are demonstrated by applying it to a risk evaluation problem of proton beam radiotherapy and further validated by a comparative study with some existing FMEA models.
