Fuzzy Risk Analysis Assessment Applied to Value Stream Mapping

Abstract

To enhance industrial activities and achieve revenue goals, manufacturing firms have accepted the Outsourcing Process (OP), and, as a result, risk analysis (RA) methods are persistently utilized to guarantee the results. Likewise, the most popular RA tool is the FMEA method. Nonetheless, it has been identified that FMEA contains uncertainty because people are involved in the RA analysis. In this sense, our proposal presents the application of PFDA-FMEA-VSM applied in a real-life case. Furthermore, it allows stakeholders to identify the key risks in a thorough diagram. The results depict that our proposal has the potential to map the vague information due to human inference into the RA process.
