Résumé	Simulation-assisted FMEA enhances the classical Failure Mode and Effects Analysis by replacing point-estimate occurrence ratings with probabilistic simulation — typically Monte Carlo — to quantify failure probability distributions across a system's components. This yields statistically grounded Risk Priority Numbers (RPNs) rather than expert guesses, enabling more rigorous identification and prioritization of critical failure modes in complex engineering systems.	Statistical reliability analysis models the time-to-failure of components, systems, or products using parametric lifetime distributions fitted to observed or censored failure data. Formalized comprehensively by William Q. Meeker and Luis A. Escobar in their 1998 Wiley monograph, the framework integrates maximum likelihood estimation, censoring mechanisms, and distributional diagnostics to produce probability-of-failure curves, hazard rates, and quantile estimates that support design, warranty, and maintenance decisions.
