Abstract: In this paper, the fuzzy assessment information is derived for the eight failure modes and relative importance weights of three risk factors by utilizing the interval number matrix multiplying method. Fuzzy Risk Priority Numbers (FRPNs) are defined as Fuzzy Weighted Geometric Mean (FWGM) of the fuzzy ratings for the three risk factors for prioritization of failure modes, and it can be calculated using α-level sets and benchmark adjustment devised search algorithm rather than liner programming (LP). To facilitate the ranking of failure modes, t...
