Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Assignable causes are factors that can be identified and controlled to eliminate defects in a process. Defective raw materials and components are a common example of assignable causes as they can be traced back to the supplier and corrective actions can be taken to prevent future defects. Defects caused by government regulation or ISO requirements are not examples of assignable causes as they are external factors that cannot be controlled by the process. Defects caused in the natural course of manufacturing may be due to common causes and are not assignable causes.
