 abstract={This paper is an extension of the conference publication (Kahouadji & Belkaid, 2022). It introduces a new Hybrid Failure Modes, effects, and criticality analysis (FMECA) Model for Prioritizing Failure Modes using Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) technique which can serve as a substitute for the conventional risk priority number (RPN) methodology. Our argument is that the RPN method has inherent limitations when it comes to evaluating risks and pinpointing crucial concerns, which can lead to imprecise risk management decisions. The proposed hybrid FMECA combines the strengths of subjective assessments, such as expert judgment and descriptive data, with objective, measurable data such as numerical scores. This integration provides a more comprehensive evaluation of risks and criticality. The hybrid approach incorporates the French repairability index (RI) as a new factor which enhances accuracy and reliability while strengthen the eco-awareness of the risk assessment. We integrate two MCDM (VIKOR & TOPSIS) methods into the hybrid FMECA approach and illustrate its effectiveness through a case study where we identify and prioritize critical issues in a complex system. The results of the study confirm that the hybrid FMECA approach provides a more robust risk management tool compared to the traditional RPN method, making it a valuable technique for engineers and risk managers.},
