Sažetak	Simulation-assisted root cause analysis (Sim-RCA) integrates computational simulation — such as discrete-event simulation, Monte Carlo methods, or finite-element analysis — into the structured root cause analysis process to diagnose the underlying causes of complex failures or defects. By running virtual experiments on a system model, investigators can test hypothetical causal pathways safely, rapidly, and at scale, without disrupting live operations or waiting for rare failure events to recur.	Statistical Process Control (SPC) is a data-driven quality method that uses statistical techniques — primarily control charts — to monitor a manufacturing or service process over time. By distinguishing natural process variation (common cause) from unusual, actionable variation (special cause), SPC enables practitioners to maintain processes in a stable, predictable state and to detect problems early, before defective output reaches customers.
