Failure mode and effects analysis(FMEA) is popular approach applied to examine potential failures in equipment designs and maintenance of equipments. Risk Priority Number(RPN) is used as an index for the criticality of fault modes in FMEA and RCM(reliability centered maintenance). Traditional RPN approach does not have much credit as a index for the criticality because it does not reflect their experience and the governing logic is apart from their knowledge. Multiple Criteria Decision Method(MCDM) is a proven approach applied to evaluate multiple conflicting criteria in decision making. MCDM can be applied as a tool for RPN evaluation. This study was carried out to investigate application of Analytical Hierarchy Process(AHP) in evaluating RPN.
