IMPROVINGPROJECTECONOMICSBY PROVIDINGAPROCEDURETO DEAL WITHENVIRONMENTAL RISKSIN INDUSTRIAL ANDCONSTRUCTIONPROJECTS, USING FMEA & QFD INTEGRATION

Nowadays, strict controls and careful supervision is done on projects for environmental protection, so protection or lack of protection of the environment, in industrial and construction projects, will have a significant impact on the project economics; because in case of damaging the environment caused by the contractors, government or employer impose them to redress environmental damages. It even may be cause to the contractor bankruptcy. In addition, it should never be forgotten that the environmental protection as a human value and a vital human need, should always be considered. In order to protect this vital human need and the need to maximize profits in industrial and construction projects, we used integration of FMEA & QFD methods in a real project, and recorded the results in this article. In the first step we used QFD method to accurately evaluate the employer's needs and the mandated standards in the field of environmental protection. Then in the second step using the FMEA to identify failure modes those prevent the realization of these objectives and determine their effectiveness. In the third step, according to the employer's needs and priorities that had been obtained from the previous steps, present an approach to prevent the environmental risks occurring or redress them. At the end, the practical results of implementation of this method are provided as at able can be used for later or similar problems in other projects. Implementation of this method will reach quality and customer satisfaction to the maximum level and reduce the amount of damages to the environment, to the minimum level; also it strongly reduces resources and time wasting in the industrial and construction projects and increased the final profit.
