8. 2.1 Assignable cause 1.Isolated causes ›one particular point falling outside the control limits 8 possible causes A mistake in measurement, recording or plotting Damage in handling Defect in raw-material used for that unit alone False alarm

9. 2.Shift cause ›produce a considerable shift in the process mean 9 possible causes Tool break Change in raw- material or supplier Change in inspection methods or standards Adjustments made in machine settings Introduction of new workers or inspectors

10. 3.Gradual cause ›change the process mean gradually over time 10 possible causes Gradual introduction of new raw- material Loosening fixtures Operator fatigue Machine tool wear Gauge wear Environmental changes
