תקציר	Robust Root Cause Analysis (Robust RCA) integrates classical root cause investigation techniques — such as the 5-Whys, Ishikawa diagrams, and fault trees — with Taguchi's robustness thinking to identify not only the primary cause of a failure but also the noise factors and variability sources that allow the failure to occur repeatedly. The result is corrective actions that eliminate the root cause and make the system inherently insensitive to future variation.	Robust Failure Mode and Effects Analysis extends the classical FMEA framework by explicitly incorporating noise factors, parameter variability, and environmental variation into the risk assessment process. Rather than treating failure likelihood as a single deterministic estimate, it uses robust design principles — most notably from Taguchi's quality engineering — to evaluate how process variability and uncontrollable noise factors influence the probability and severity of each failure mode, yielding risk priority numbers that reflect real-world variability.
