Abstract

Conducting any activity, regardless of its nature, involves risk. This is an aspect that is particularly relevant in the science of running processes, including manufacturing. Moreover, the intuitive and simplest way for humans to determine the risk is formulated in the form of linguistic values, which makes it difficult to analyse and evaluate by classical methods. The article briefly examines the area of application of fuzzy logic in risk assessment in research of the last two decades. The use of fuzzy set principles makes it possible to achieve benefits in the area of risk assessment, which is supported by the increasing popularity of using these methods in practice. The aim of this paper was to verify the feasibility of applying fuzzy logic principles to the risk assessment of machinery park failures in the production process. The Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) used in this case was based on the Mamdani implication. The results achieved in this case are presented. The application example discussed, in the light of the literature analysis indicated earlier, confirms not only the possibility but also the validity of applying fuzzy set principles to risk analysis in production processes.
