Abstract: FMEA is a systematized tool operating based on team work. It is applied in defining, identifying, evaluating, preventing, deleting or controlling reasons and effects of potential faults in a system, process, design or the service before delivered to the clients. FMEA aims to prioritize the errors based on the necessity to take modification measures. It is routinely carried out through examining three figures of severity, occurrence and detection for each fault and then calculating the number of RPN which is obtained by multiplying these three figures. Finally, each fault with more PRN will be prioritized to be modified. It is better to use area chart for prioritizing. However, this study looked for a way to prioritize the fault by MADM2 Model to take modification measures. Among these models, AHP, TOPSIS and VIKOR Models were applied and their results were compared with each other. It should be noted that for ranking the faults in the example, a practical sample of ranking faults in stove manufacturing in anindustrial complex were used.
