Resumé	Sensitivity Analysis with Root Cause Analysis (SA-RCA) is an integrated engineering method that first quantifies how much each input parameter or process variable drives variability in a system output, then applies structured root cause analysis to the most influential factors to identify and eliminate the underlying failure mechanisms. The combination transforms numerical rankings of influence into actionable diagnoses, making it particularly effective in quality engineering, reliability analysis, and process improvement contexts.	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.
