Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Assignable variation is variation that can be traced to a specific identifiable source or cause and can therefore be changed or eliminated through targeted improvement efforts. Common variation, on the other hand, is inherent in any process and cannot be eliminated, but only managed. Random variation is inherent in any system and cannot be traced to a specific cause. Visible and capable are not terms commonly associated with variation.
