The cost of rework is high. To ensure a reliable manufacturing process and outcome, this article presents a new method to prioritize assembly process errors according to a risk-based cost of poor quality. The method combines a range of reliability techniques including cause¨Ceffect diagram, fault tree, and analytic hierarchy process to achieve multiple failure mode assessment. The outcome of this research provides direct links to develop risk mitigation plans to treat the prioritized risks of production errors in the composite fiber-reinforced plastic assembly process %K Composite fiber-reinforced plastic %K cost of poor quality %K failure mode and effect analysis %K analytic hierarchy process %K multiple failure mode assessment %K fault tree analysis %K composite fiber reinforced plastic assembly %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0954405417711733
