Abstract

With the increasing complexity of processes and products, and because of the multi-disciplinary and cross-functional nature, a failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) practice may be implemented in a distributed setting with a large group of FMEA members. In this study, we introduce a large group decision making model for FMEA considering social relationships of FMEA members. Firstly, a group structure detection method is used to reduce the dimension of the large group, which can find a core-periphery structure and a community structure from a meso‑scale perspective. Then, a delegation mechanism is introduced to allocate opinions of periphery FMEA members into those of core FMEA members. Next, we propose a fairness-oriented consensus approach considering a fair distribution of changes in the consensus reaching process. An illustrative example regarding photovoltaic systems is provided to demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of our proposed model. The key and novel contribution of our paper is to explore how to manage the structure characteristic for FMEA groups under the social network setting. We provide an insight of efficient decision making for complex reliability engineering problems.
