In this study, we attempted to improve hospital food delivery service quality and customer satisfaction by using FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis), which is applied to the quality control of products in manufacturing plants. Subjective food delivery service quality improvement was judged based on a 5-point likert scale. Traditional FMEA uses an RPN (Risk priority number) to evaluate the risk level of a component or process. The RPN index was determined by calculating the product of severity, occurrence, and detection indexes. In our results, total RPN value (P<0.01) significantly decreased after FMEA introduction, whereas customer satisfaction (P<0.001) and food delivery service quality (P<0.001) significantly increased. Specifically, foodservice errors (P<0.01) and loss cost (P<0.01) were significantly improved by FMEA introduction. Taken together, we suggest that FMEA reduces critical activities and errors in foodservice delivery caused by simple priority selection.

In this study, we aimed to identify the important hazard factors and determine their criticality in causing serious accidents in vehicle-mounted mobile elevated work platforms (MEWPs). Fuzzy failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA)was performed using accident data and a survey of experts. To determine the hazard factors, the accident data for the last 10 years were used and a questionnaire survey was designed. The questionnaire survey was sent to four experts in the field of occupational safety to determine the severity, occurrence, and detectability of serious accidents in MEWPs. Furthermore, objective RPN scores and risk priority were obtained using fuzzy FMEA. Finally, the criticality of hazard factors in descending order was found to be overloading, non-installation or defective installation of outriggers, breakage due to wire rope aging, and illegal remodeling of vehicle structures. The results were verified by comparing the occurrence data of serious disasters.

In Factory, as the number of machine is increased the more maintenance efforts are necessary. Multi maintenance issues may occur at a certain time and the determination of maintenance sequence is needed. In this study, we first compare the priority of machines and the impact value using modified FMEA(Failure Mode Effect and Analysis) method. Also, CBR(Case-based Reasoning) approach is applied to retrieve similar fault cases of current machine problem. The proposed methodology will be useful to implement decision support system of maintenance sequence for CMMS/EAM (Computerized Maintenance Management System/Enterprise Asset Management).

In this study, design of a small hybrid rocket is carried out using Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Criticality Analysis(CA), which is a method for qualitative and semi-quantitative reliability analysis. In order to carry out FMEA, the structure of the hybrid rocket is divided into 31 parts and 72 potential failure modes. As a result of the FMEA, the relationship between potential failure modes, causes and effects, and their severity are evaluated qualitatively. Criticality analysis is followed for the failure modes, in which the criticality number is estimated using the failure rate information available from the handbook. Moreover, the failure modes with higher criticality and severity are chosen for improvement, and a series of design or material changes are made for the improvement of the hybrid rocket reliability.

챗봇(Chatbot)은 자연어처리기술 등 인공지능 기술을 기반으로 한 사용자 친화적인 대화 방식 인터페이스를 제공하는 장점이 있어, 금융, 상담, 주문 등 다양한 산업 분야에서 적용되고 있다. 그러나, 챗봇의 응답이 사용자의 정신 모형과 불일치하는 경우, 다음 대화를 이어가는데 어려움을 야기하게 된다. 그러므로, 챗봇의 사용성을 확보하기 위해서는 응답 오류의 제거 또는 완화가 필수적이다. 기존의 챗봇의 사용성 개선과 관련된 연구들은 설문조사와 인터뷰 등 사용성 평가를 통해 상위 수준의 개선 방향만을 제안하고 있다. 따라서, 챗봇 개발 시, 실무자들이 응답 오류의 문제점을 분석하고, 이를 해결하기 위한 구체적인 개선 방안을 제시하는 데 한계가 있었다. 본 논문에서는 FMEA(Failure Modes and Effects Analysis) 기법을 활용해, 응답 오류의 치명도를 파악하고, 치명적인 오류들에 대해서는 FTA(Fault Tree Analysis) 기법을 기반으로 원인 분석을 실시하여 구체적으로 문제를 해결하기 위한 프로세스를 제안한다. 본 프로세스의 효용성을 검증하기 위해 주문 도메인의 챗봇에 적용해 보았다.

FMEA(Failure Mode & Effect Analysis)는 발생 가능한 잠재 고장의 형태와 그 영향을 평가하고 고장을 예방할 수 있도록 표를 이용하여 체계적으로 접근하는 방법이다. FMEA를 활용하여 전자 의료기기의 신뢰성을 평가할 수 있는 방안에 대한 연구를 통해 의료기기의 신뢰성 향상을 위한 체계적인 접근이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 소프트웨어의 신뢰성을 평가하기 위한 체계를 구축하기 위해 FMEA 기법을 근간으로 하여 전자 의료기기의 신뢰성 평가 체계 구축에 적용할 수 있는 방안을 수립하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to suggest objective evaluation model as a plan to utilize as opportunity in establishing judgment standard of mutual inspection criteria and to upgrade inspection ability by reviewing and analyzing level of danger and importance in advance based on inspection results of inspection institutions regarding tower cranes used in construction fields. Tower crane is a mechanical device transporting construction supplies and heavy materials to places over 20~150M high from the ground for the period ranging from a short time of 2~3 months to two years after being installed in construction sites in vicinity of buildings or structures and is an important facility indispensable for construction sites. However, since use period after installation is short and professional technical ability of technicians working on-site about of tower crane is poor, systematic and quantitative safety management is not carried out As a part of researches on procedure of RBI(Risk Based Inspection) possible to apply to Knowledge Based System based on knowledge and experiences of experts as well as to tower cranes for solving these problems, quantitative RPN(Risk Priority Number) was applied to RPN utilizing technique of FMEA(Failure Mode and Effect Analyses). When general RBI 80/20 Rule was applied parts with high level of risks were found out as wire rope, hoist up/down safety device, reduction gear, and etc. However, since there are still many insufficient parts as risk analyses of tower crane were not established, it is necessary for experts with sufficient experiences and knowledge to supplement active RBI techniques and continuous researches on tower cranes by sharing and setting up data base of important information with this study as a starting point.

Recently, The percentile of the apartment housing within the apartment construction of domestic is increasing daily. Especially the construction duration in apartment construction is an very important factor which affects project cost. Therefore the construction companies the effort to shorten construction duration. The influence factors of the construction duration are analyzed to shorten construction duration through this tendency. The shown factors are needed to assessment method efficiently. This study is to suggest a method for the assessment of influence factors about the shortening of the construction time in apartment housing based on the FMEA(Failure Mode and Effect Analysis) method.
