요약	Multi-response Root Cause Analysis (MRCA) is a structured problem-solving method that identifies the underlying causes of failures or deviations across multiple simultaneous response variables (KPIs, quality characteristics, or process outputs). It extends classical RCA to settings where a single root cause can propagate into several observed defects or performance degradations at once, which is common in manufacturing, engineering, and service-quality contexts.	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.
