Zusammenfassung	Multi-response Root Cause Analysis (MRCA) is a structured problem-solving method that identifies the underlying causes of failures or deviations across multiple simultaneous response variables (KPIs, quality characteristics, or process outputs). It extends classical RCA to settings where a single root cause can propagate into several observed defects or performance degradations at once, which is common in manufacturing, engineering, and service-quality contexts.	Multi-response Design of Experiments (MRDoE) extends classical DoE to situations where several response variables must be optimized simultaneously. Rather than tuning factors for a single output, the experimenter fits separate regression or response-surface models for each response, then combines them — most often via Derringer and Suich's desirability function — into a single composite score that guides the search for factor settings satisfying all response targets at once.
