A Failure Mode, Effect and Criticality Analysis (FMECA) is a methodology used to define, identify and eliminate known and or potential failures in order to enhance the product's reliability and quality. This paper describes a methodology, based on fuzzy logic, for prioritizing failures in criticality assessment. The failure severity, frequency of occurrence, detection and failure mode itself are represented as members of a fuzzy set, combined by matching them against rules in a rule base, evaluated with min-max inferencing, and then defuzzified to assess the criticality of the failure. A turbocharger rotor-bearing subsystem's fuzzy-logic-based criticality assessment is conducted to demonstrate the method. The comparison of this method and Risk Priority Number (RPN) is presented to show the advantages of the new method.
