Application of Fuzzy FMEA to Rainfed Lowland Rice Production in Sarawak: Environmental, Health and Safety Perspectives

Rainfed lowland rice is the most favorable method for rice cultivation in Sarawak, Malaysia. Overall, rice production in Sarawak consists of seven sub-processes, namely preparing land, establishing crop, transplanting, managing crop, harvesting, post-harvesting, and milling. Majority of farmers in...
