Abstract: In order to identify the potential risk factors effectively, the traditional FMEA is used to extract 20 potential risk factors. Then, considering the insufficiency of the traditional FMEA when calculating RPN (risk priority number), which is not precise and objective enough, fuzzy VIKOR is introduced to evaluate every risk factor. Finally, an coal mining enterprise is selected to carry out a case analysis. The result shows that fuzzy VIKOR can identify the risk more precisely and can make up for the shortcoming of traditional FMEA; and that the scientific combination of FMEA and fuzzy VIKOR is an effective method to identify the potential risk factors of coal mining enterprises, and it can provide a basis for emergency management for coal mining enterprises.

Key words: FMEA, fuzzy VIKOR, coal mining enterprises, risk identification
