The difference between the Chance cause and Assignable cause is

given as follows:
Chance cause:

 A form of variation noticed in a quantitative feature, process, or

measurement that is attributable to a random change in any aspect
involved until the output is received is known as the chance cause.
 It's also considered a "natural cause", and it doesn't produce a lot of
variance in the output.
 Mild vibration of a production machine, for example, because it is no
longer in operation.

Assignable cause:

 The assignable cause is a sort of variation that has affected the result
owing to a deviation due to a particular reason that can be easily
found through troubleshooting.
 It's also known as a "special cause" and it can produce a lot of
variation in an output.
 For example, due to faulty raw materials, the entire batch of tablets
was determined to be defective.

Common-cause variations[edit]
Common-cause variation is characterised by:[citation needed]

 Phenomena constantly active within the system;

 Variation predictable probabilistically;
 Irregular variation within a historical experience base; and
 Lack of significance in individual high or low values.
The outcomes of a perfectly balanced roulette wheel are a good example of common-cause
variation. Common-cause variation is the noise within the system.
Walter A. Shewhart originally used the term chance cause.[1] The term common cause was
coined by Harry Alpert in 1947. The Western Electric Company used the term natural pattern.
[2]
 Shewhart called a process that features only common-cause variation as being in statistical
control. This term is deprecated by some modern statisticians who prefer the phrase stable and
predictable.

Special-cause variation[edit]
Special-cause variation is characterised by:[citation needed]

 New, unanticipated, emergent or previously neglected phenomena within the system;

 Variation inherently unpredictable, even probabilistically;
 Variation outside the historical experience base; and
 Evidence of some inherent change in the system or our knowledge of it.
Special-cause variation always arrives as a surprise. It is the signal within a system.
Walter A. Shewhart originally used the term assignable cause.[3] The term special-cause was
coined by W. Edwards Deming. The Western Electric Company used the term unnatural pattern

Common causes[edit]
 Inappropriate procedures
 Poor design
 Poor maintenance of machines
 Lack of clearly defined standard operating procedures
 Poor working conditions, e.g. lighting, noise, dirt, temperature, ventilation
 Substandard raw materials
 Measurement error
 Quality control error
 Vibration in industrial processes
 Ambient temperature and humidity
 Normal wear and tear
 Variability in settings
 Computer response time
Special causes[edit]
 Faulty adjustment of equipment
 Operator falls asleep
 Defective controllers
 Machine malfunction
 Fall of ground
 Computer crash
 Deficient batch of raw material
 Power surges
 High healthcare demand from elderly people
 Broken part
 Insufficient awareness
 Abnormal traffic (click fraud) on web ads
 Extremely long lab testing turnover time due to switching to a new computer system
 Operator absent[4]
