Sammanfattning	Risk-based Root Cause Analysis (RBRCA) integrates classical root cause investigation with quantitative or semi-quantitative risk assessment to ensure that corrective actions are directed first at the causes that carry the highest probability and consequence of recurrence. Unlike standard RCA, which identifies root causes without systematically ranking their hazard potential, RBRCA assigns risk scores to each identified cause, allowing organizations to allocate limited remediation resources where they can reduce overall risk most efficiently.	Six Sigma DMAIC is a data-driven, five-phase process improvement methodology — Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control — used to reduce defects and process variation to fewer than 3.4 defects per million opportunities. Originating at Motorola in the 1980s and systematized by practitioners including Pyzdek and Keller, it is widely adopted in manufacturing, healthcare, finance, and service industries seeking sustained quality gains.
