Резюме	Sensitivity analysis with failure mode and effects analysis (SA-FMEA) combines classical FMEA risk scoring with systematic sensitivity analysis to determine which input parameters — severity, occurrence, and detectability ratings — drive the Risk Priority Number (RPN) most strongly. This integration helps teams focus improvement resources where they matter most, revealing how uncertain or variable scoring assumptions propagate into final risk rankings.	Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) is a top-down, deductive reliability method that begins with an undesired top-level failure event and systematically traces backward through chains of contributing causes using Boolean logic gates (AND, OR). First formalized by Watson at Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1961 and later standardized by Vesely, Goldberg, Roberts, and Haasl in the landmark 1981 NRC Fault Tree Handbook, FTA has become a cornerstone of quantitative risk assessment in nuclear, aerospace, and industrial safety engineering.
