        1 - Using cause and Effect Diagram to Survey the Cause of Bankruptcy and Slump Domestic Industries by QFD & FMEA Approach

        In paying attention to the recent years, domestic industries encounter severe slump and some of them has become insolvent, some are also at the beginning of bankruptcy. The existence of a research that would be able to applicability and simply show the causes of domestic industries bankruptcy, and make it flexible to the government`s honorable attendants, congress representatives, judicature, and other governmental and private organizations, has been less seen. Therefore, the writers of this article have tried at the first step to extract the main causes of bankruptcy and slump domestic industries from the writing and speeches of country`s attendants and experts and specialists. At the second step, the causes are presented to specialists and advisers of Ministry of Industry and Mining. Then by using Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) more than 90 problems are extracted, classified and prioritized, and then the obtained results are used as input to draw cause and effect diagram (fishbone diagram). In this article to draw cause and effect diagram, the bankruptcy causes and slump domestic industries are categorized into 8 parts: 1. government, 2. domestic industries, 3. goods smuggling, 4. bank, 5. judicature, 6. Congress, 7. environment, and 8. people. On the one hand, this diagram can simply show the domestic industries problems based on their importance and on the other hand specify the related organizations to solve the problems. This current research from the viewpoint of purpose is an active research and from the aspect of approach and nature is a descriptive-applicable research in which the library approach is used to gather information, and also experts judgment are used for validity and reliability.

        The failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is a qualitative, Inductive and effective method for detecting errors, faults, and failures in a system and fuzzy logic can improve that technique with more logical outputs. Moreover, the fault tree analysis (FTA) as a probabilistic risk assessment method is among the effective technique for calculating the probability of errors, faults, failures, reliability and safety integrity level (SIL) verification resulting in certain events at higher levels. The FTA also detects the main causes of events in complicated systems. Although this technique appears to be time-consuming in systems with many diverse components, it is considered a powerful tool. In this paper, the fuzzy FMEA analyzes the failure modes in a hypothetical system. After that, the process with the highest risk is selected as the input of an FTA. According to the qualitative and quantitative analysis of FTAs, a series of corrective actions will be proposed to reduce the failure probability. Manuscript profile
