Fault tree analysis (FTA), a widely recognized technique for system safety and process quality control, enables to effectively and simultaneously evaluate causes-and-effect relationship in qualitative and quantitative manners. Factors causing quality defects such as human errors are vague and imprecise events which are linguistically assessed by experts’ subjective judgment tend not be able to accurately estimate fault probabilities. To overcome this disadvantage, a fuzzy fault tree analysis model is proposed. A case study of assessing overall crack rate of concrete slab of the building in Kaohsiung city is performed to illustrate the potential aptness of this model. The results show that the fault rates estimated by the model are close to those obtained from the actual audit outcomes, indicating this model a useful tool that can assist quality engineers to effectively assess fault rate. |
