Risk assessments and risk prioritizations are crucial aspects of new product design before a product is launched into the market. Risk-ranking issues involve the information that is considered for the evaluation and objective weighting considerations of the evaluation factors that are presented by the data. However, typical risk-ranking methods cannot effectively grasp a comprehensive evaluation of this information and ignore the objective weight considerations of the risk factors, leading to inappropriate evaluation results. For a more accurate ranking result of the failure mode risk, this study proposes a novel, flexible risk-ranking approach that integrates spherical fuzzy sets and the objective weight considerations of the risk factors to process the risk-ranking issues. In the numerical case validation, a new product design risk assessment of electronic equipment was used as a numerically validated case, and the simulation results were compared with the risk priority number (RPN) method, improved risk priority number (IRPN) method, intuitionistic fuzzy weighted average (IFWA) method, and spherical weighted arithmetic average (SWAA) method. The test outcomes that were confirmed showed that the proposed novel, flexible risk-ranking approach could effectively grasp the comprehensive evaluation information and provide a more accurate ranking of the failure mode risk. |
