manufacturing variability

Manufacturing variability refers to the natural differences that occur when producing items, even under controlled conditions. Factors like slight changes in raw materials, machine performance, or environmental conditions can lead to variations in the final product’s size, shape, or quality. While these differences are often minimal and within acceptable limits, they can affect consistent performance or appearance. Managing this variability is important to ensure products meet quality standards and function reliably, and manufacturers use various techniques to monitor and reduce these differences as much as possible.
