Identification and Ranking of Production Risks in Home Industries Factory Using FMEA

Today, production in factories is threatened by various risks and hazards that reduce efficiency and impact business performance. Industries, particularly those moving towards longer production lines, such as the household and industrial goods industry, face increased risks due to their network composed of independent and related organizations collaborating in controlling, managing, and improving the flow of materials and information from suppliers to end customers. Properly identifying the existing risks in each industry or project allows specific measures to be considered against their occurrence, ensuring the resilience of the targeted company or organization. The objective of this research is to identify and evaluate factory risks in the household and industrial goods industry in Iran, with a specific focus on a representative household and industrial goods company. The aim is to prioritize and determine critical risks based on predefined criteria, enabling senior managers to be prepared to tackle each of them with the available time and resources. This research consists of three stages: in the first stage, existing risks in the company were identified through literature review, interviews with experienced individuals, and using the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) method. In the second stage, the identified risks were evaluated by collecting relevant data through questionnaires and employing the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) method. In the third stage, the identified risks from the first stage were re-evaluated and ranked using the TOPSIS method. The results were compared with the previous findings, ultimately introducing ۱۳ risks as critical factory risks.
