Abstract

The objective of this research was to study a risk assessment of the rice combine harvester using FMEA technique implementation and suggested the procedures to maintain the parts of the rice combine harvester by analyzing the causes of risk assessment of FMEA. The FMEA was also applied to specify failure causes and effects that occurred in the rice harvester. The obtained data were calculated for a risk priority number (RPN) and then sorted to be a descending order. The high RPN part was analyzed for the causes and effects and then suggested a preventive maintenance in near future. The results revealed that the highest RPN of 576 was found when a chain surface was considered and also showed the maximum risk among the considered parts in the rice combine harvester. While, the lowest RPN of 144 was found when a rice sieve part was considered but this RPN was still higher than that of 100 RPN which was required to specify the preventive maintenance.

Highlights

In order to increase income, rice farmers tried to increase productivity of rice cultivation
It was necessary to perform a risk assessment of the rice combine harvester and suggested the procedures to maintain the parts of the rice combine in order to sustain the productivity of rice production
There were three main steps to study on risks occurring in the rice combine harvester: (1) Risk identification, (2) Risk assessment, and (3) Risk response

Summary

Introduction

In order to increase income, rice farmers tried to increase productivity of rice cultivation. Risk management was used in reduction of error in engineering design of project management [3], reduction of downtime loss in concrete production [4], improving of preventive maintenance planning of an automobile shaft manufacturing [5], assessing risks in container terminals [6], reducing breakdowns of a sub system in the life care product manufacturing [7], assessing risks for wind turbine systems [8], assessing risks for rotary switches [9], analyzing risks of a biomass combustion process [10], and evaluating boiler tube [11]. These studies used an application of Failure Mode and Effect
