Process Variation

Process variation refers to the differences and fluctuations that can occur in any process, such as manufacturing or service delivery. These variations can arise from numerous factors, including changes in materials, equipment performance, environmental conditions, or human actions. In simpler terms, it's like baking cookies: even if you follow the same recipe, the size, texture, or taste can vary each time because of factors like ingredient freshness or oven temperature. Understanding and managing process variation is crucial for improving quality and consistency in products or services.
