Natural Variations
Natural variations in the production process
S6 3
Assignable Variations
Variations that can be traced to a specific reason (machine wear, misadjusted equipment, fatigued or untrained workers) The objective is to discover when assignable causes are present and eliminate them
S6 4
Samples
To measure the process, we take samples and analyze the sample statistics following these steps
(a) Samples of the product, say five boxes of cereal taken off the filling machine line, vary from each other in weight

(b) After enough samples are taken from a stable process, they form a pattern called a distribution

(c) There are many types of distributions, including the normal (bell-shaped) distribution, but distributions do differ in terms of central tendency (mean), standard deviation or variance, and shape

(d) If only natural causes of variation are present, the output of a process forms a distribution that is stable over time and is predictable

Control Charts
Constructed from historical data, the purpose of control charts is to help distinguish between natural variations and variations due to assignable causes
