Gul, Muhammet; Ak, M. Fatih
Occupational safety issues encountered in the worksite environment are the issues that companies should consider in improving their operations with a view to human health and environmental awareness. Many methods with different rationales have been existed in the literature to prioritize hazards according to their risk levels and to mitigate their consequences. In this study, a new model is developed for occupational risk assessment by merging two well-known multi-criteria decision-making methods named best and worst method (BWM) and multi attribute ideal real comparative analysis (MAIRCA) under fuzzy environment. The proposed model differentiates from other similar models by three aspects. First, it considers severity of a hazard and its associated risk from the human and environmental riskiness perspectives. Secondly, it applies fuzzy BWM (F-BWM) to calculate the relative importance of three risk factors named as “probability, frequency and severity” of traditional Fine–Kinney method. Thirdly, it applies fuzzy MAIRCA (F-MAIRCA) to rank hazards according to their risk level using importance values obtained by F-BWM. To show applicability of the approach, a case study of risk assessment in a marble factory is fulfilled. Additionally, a number of validation studies including benchmarking analysis with fuzzy VIKOR and fuzzy TOPSIS methods; a sensitivity analysis by varying importance weights of risk factors are carried out to highlight the solidity of the proposed approach.

Gul, Muhammet; Yucesan, Melih; Celik, Erkan
This study proposes an improved failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) with fuzzy Bayesian Network (FBN) and fuzzy best-worst method (FBWM) to assess failures in plastic production. To eliminate the drawbacks of the classical risk priority number (RPN) computation of FMEA, this approach is developed. Unlike classical RPN, a new parameter hierarchy is constructed, and three sub-parameters are injected into the approach. These parameters are weighted by the aid of FBWM. Hereafter, a fuzzy rule-based system is constructed by incorporating Bayesian Network (BN). Also, a sensitivity analysis is performed to observe the final FMEA score changes in accordance with the change of subjective probability values. Finally, a comparative analysis with two approaches of classical FMEA and FBWM-based FMEA (without a fuzzy rule-based system incorporating BN) is fulfilled. The results of the study are strengthened with the experts’ opinions regarding the importance of failure modes for the final product and the whole system and supported them by experience feedback in the observed facility.

Demirel, Hakan; Balin, Abit; Çelik, Erkan; Alarçin, Fuat
Roll stabilizer systems are studied for different types of ships by many researchers. It is well known that roll motion is caused by external disturbances (wave,wind etc) and large roll motion can cause capsizing easily. In addition, undesirable roll motion effect badly crew performance and passenger comfort. So, roll reduction has an important role for all types of ships. In our study, we proposed a fuzzy AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and ELECTRE (Elemination and Choice Translating Reality English) method for selecting the most effective roll stabilizing system for a trawler type fishing vessel. Alternatives and criteria in relation to the stabilizers are determined by experts’ experiences and literature review. This paper intends to give a comprehensive procedure for determining the most suitable roll motion stabilizing system of trawler for safety and efficiency fishing in the open literature.

Akyuz, Emre; Celik, Erkan; Celik, Metin
This paper aims to conduct a practical application for human reliability assessment during operating procedures of an emergency fire pump on-board ship. A systematic human error prediction is performed for designated tasks during operational procedures of the emergency fire pump since human error can be regarded as one of the major factors contributing accidents at sea. Hence, human reliability performance is evaluated to enhance fire safety management in operational level on-board ship. In the paper, marine-specific error producing conditions are adopted under fuzzy sets environment. To enhance consistency of research and minimise subjectivity during expert's judgement stage, the paper is supported with a dominance factor which is used to adjust the impact level of expert's judgments in the aggregation stage of the methodology. The outcomes of the paper provide valuable contributions to the safety managers and technical superintends to monitor fire safety management and crew reliability performance.

Gul, Muhammet
Occupational health and safety (OHS) is a multidisciplinary activity working under the tasks of protection of workers and worksites. Risk assessment, as a compulsory process in implementation of OHS, stands out as evaluating the risks arising from the hazards, taking into account the required control measures, and deciding whether or not the risks can be reduced to an acceptable level. The diversity in risk assessment approaches is such that there are many methods for any industry. Multicriteria decision-making (MCDM)-based approaches contribute to risk assessment knowledge with their ability on solving real-world problems with multiple, conflicting, and incommensurate criteria. This article conducts a critical state-of-the-art review of OHS risk assessment studies using MCDM-based approaches. Additionally, it includes fuzzy versions of MCDM approaches applied to OHS risk assessment. A total of 80 papers are classified in eight different application areas. The papers are reviewed by the points of publication trend, published journal, risk parameters/factors, and tools used. This critical review provides an insight for researchers and practitioners on MCDM-based OHS risk assessment approaches in terms of showing current state and potential areas for attempts to be focused in the future.

Gul, Muhammet; Celik, Erkan; Aydin, Nezir; Gumus, Alev Taskin; Guneri, Ali Fuat
Multi criteria decision making (MCDM) is one of the research areas of operations research and management science which has widely studied by researchers and practitioners. It finds a compromise solution for evaluating and ranking alternatives from the best to the worst under conflicting criteria with respect to decision maker(s) preferences. In a compromise approach, the VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR; that means multi-criteria optimization and compromise solution) continues to be applied satisfactorily across different application areas. This paper conducts a state-of-the-art literature review to categorize, analyze and interpret the current research on VIKOR applications. It also discusses the extensions of VIKOR applied in fuzzy environments. A total of 343 papers are classified into 13 different application areas and a number of sub-application areas. Furthermore, all papers are also categorized with respect to publication year, published journal, country of origin, application type (real case study vs empirical study), and version of fuzzy sets used. This comprehensive literature review provides an insight for researchers and practitioners on VIKOR applications in terms of showing current state and potential areas for future attempts to be focused in the future.
