Definition

  • Common cause variation is variation that is inherent to a process, caused by unknown factors, resulting in a random but well-defined distribution of process measurements. It describes the natural noise in a process and is a direct result of how the process is designed, constructed, and managed. [Source: Encyclopedia of Health Care Management; Common Cause Variation]
