Abstract

Decision-making in product quality is indispensable in order to keep product development at the lowest risk. Based on discussion of the deficiencies of Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA), a novel decision-making method is presented concentrated on the knowledge network of failure scenarios. An ontological expression of failure scenario is presented together with a framework of failure knowledge network (FKN). A case study is provided according to the proposed decision-making procedure based on FKN. This methodology is applied in the Measurement Assisted Assembly (MAA) process to solve the problem of prioritizing measurement characteristics. A mathematical model and algorithms of Analytic Network Process (ANP) are introduced into calculating the priority of manufacturing characteristics. Therefore, this study provides a practical approach for decision-making in product quality.
