Application of statistical data and methods to establish RPN ratings of FMEA method for construction projects
The Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is paramount for analytical skills of reliability design in dynamic prevention. The FMEA model is a significant method which can simultaneously reduce the operating errors or delays as well as improve the construction quality. In particular, the Risk Priority Number (RPN) in the FMEA model is a vital tool which helps construction managers prioritize problem-solving. As the Internet of Things and big data analytical skills have become progressively widespread and mature, among the three risk indicators of RPN, the number of operating errors or delays per unit time can be estimated by the data collected from the analysis of statistical methods and regarded as the basis of 10-level classification. In addition, when the loss is larger, then the severity is higher. This paper proposed three evaluation criteria, including Occurrence, Severity, and Detection of RPN in construction engineering, and a 10-level classification model. To assist the construction managers, priority for construction improvement can be identified based on RPN calculations
