Abstract

The purpose of a failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) is to improve the safety and dependability of a system, product, procedure, or facility by identifying potential points of failure and determining the consequences of such failures. The assessment of failure modes, the weighting of risk factors, and the ranking of failure modes are all areas where the conventional FMEA falls short when put to use in the real world. To assess the hazard of failure modes in a trapezoidal neutrosophic sets environment, this research proposes a model that combines the neutrosophic sets and MCDM technique such as WASPAS. The WASPAS MCDM method is used to calculate the weights of standards and order the alternatives.  Advantages of trapezoidal neutrosophic numbers in dealing with uncertainty, ambiguity, and incompleteness are combined with the benefits of WASPAS to create the suggested risk prioritization strategy.
