An Application of Anticipatory FMEA for Preventing Failures in Humanitarian Response Operation

摘要

In an attempt to reduce the number of casualties when natural disasters occurred, the existence of reliable disaster response is becoming urgency. Nevertheless, earlier references in disaster management field are rarely discussing this importance issue. In narrowing down this research gap, in this paper we presented a framework in designing anticipatory Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) in preparing anticipatory action preventing derailment of humanitarian response operation. An introduction and procedures to implement anticipatory failure mode and effect analysis is presented using case example. The result of applying the model enable to indicate potential riskiest failure to be alleviated. Potential research opportunities from this study are also presented.
