Përmbledhja	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.	Root Cause Analysis (RCA) is a structured, systematic method for identifying the fundamental causes of defects, failures, or undesirable outcomes rather than treating surface-level symptoms. Popularised by Japanese quality engineer Kaoru Ishikawa in the 1960s–1980s, and formally codified in his 1986 Guide to Quality Control, RCA combines the Ishikawa (fishbone) diagram with the iterative 5 Whys questioning technique to trace causal chains back to their origin.
