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.	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.
