Résumé	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.	Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is a structured, proactive risk management technique used to identify potential failure modes in a system, process, or product design, evaluate their consequences, and prioritize corrective actions before failures occur. Originally developed for the U.S. military in 1949 and later adopted by NASA, automotive, and manufacturing industries, FMEA is now a cornerstone quality-engineering tool embedded in standards such as AIAG-VDA and ISO 9001-aligned processes.
