תקציר	Risk-based reliability analysis (RBRA) is an engineering methodology that combines classical reliability analysis — quantifying failure rates, component lifetimes, and system dependability — with risk assessment frameworks that weigh the severity and consequences of each failure mode. By ranking failures according to both their likelihood and their impact, RBRA guides engineers in allocating inspection, maintenance, and redesign resources where they matter most, rather than treating all potential failures as equally important.	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.
