Modified Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (MFMEA) for Machineries in Sugar Industry

Reliability is defined as the ability of an item to perform a required function without failure under stated conditions for a stated period of time. Improving reliability in an industry is very important and useful to the quality and production. One of the most consumed grocery item by all over the world is sugar and sugar industry plays an important role in economic development of country. The Failure Mode Effects Analysis (FMEA) is one of the fine tools for reliability improvement. Failure prevention is recognized as one of the major enablers of attaining continuous quality improvement in industries. Theoreticians have been propagating the employability of failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) as the technique for identifying and rectifying failures in achieving continuous quality improvement. Mostly in these kinds of industries no Reliability and Total Quality Management (TQM) techniques are used. Unexpected failures and quality reduction in components and machineries of sugar industries are the major problems without any TQM approaches. This paper aims to prevent failures and problems by applying the tool of TFMEA and to improve the quality and production of sugar industries.
