תקציר	Risk-based Root Cause Analysis (RBRCA) integrates classical root cause investigation with quantitative or semi-quantitative risk assessment to ensure that corrective actions are directed first at the causes that carry the highest probability and consequence of recurrence. Unlike standard RCA, which identifies root causes without systematically ranking their hazard potential, RBRCA assigns risk scores to each identified cause, allowing organizations to allocate limited remediation resources where they can reduce overall risk most efficiently.	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.
