Abstract

Manufactured products that are supposed to be identical will in fact vary, and it is very important to understand this variability; such an understanding can lead to

  • reduction in the number of items to be scrapped,

  • better adaptation of the machines to the production programme,

  • better appreciation of the problems of the production processes in the production planning office and

  • better use of the control charts.
