Failure mode and effects analysis for a quarry in Kutahya, Turkey

摘要

Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a systematic method for identifying system failures and assessing the effects or consequences of the identified failure modes. The use of FMEA usually begins in the early stages of product/system design, then evolves over time along with changes in that design, and accumulation of information about the system/product performance in the preproduction testing and from field experience. FMEA calculates the combined impact of the probability of a particular failure, the effects of that failure, and the probability that the failure can be detected. Within the scope of this study, after a brief explanation of FMEA, possible failures occurring in a quarry, located in Kutahya, have been investigated by utilizing FMEA. The steps of the study are given as follows.
