Abstract
This research implements the Failure Mode and Effects Analysis to identify the failure modes that cause defect and waste in the slipper shoes manufacturing process of a case company in Thailand. This research collects the data by questionnaire, interviews and discusses with the experts at a case company in Thailand to review the process and list the potential effects that cause defects and wastes in the process. Then, each failure mode??s degree of severity, occurrence, and detection are evaluated and the risk priority number is calculated. Finally, the importance of each failure mode is ranked by the value of the risk priority number.
The result of this study improves the reliability and quality of the manufacturing process by recommending preventive or corrective actions to solve the problems with a proactive and systematic method based on the concepts of Failure Mode and Effects Analysis.
