Hybrid Failure Mode and Effects Analysis — Hybrid FMEA

Hybrid Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (Hybrid FMEA) extends classical FMEA by integrating it with multi-criteria decision methods — such as fuzzy logic, AHP, TOPSIS, or grey theory — to overcome the well-documented limitations of the traditional Risk Priority Number. The hybrid approach enables more nuanced, weighted, and uncertainty-aware prioritization of failure risks in engineering systems, manufacturing processes, and complex sociotechnical environments.
