In industries, we make products, processes, and services butsometimes they cannot meet the requirements of the final product due to anynon-availability of the products, service, or anything then that can bereferred to as deviation. If you are working in an organization then you shouldhave the acumen of the deviation concept in detail. So let's learn aboutdeviation and the types of deviation.
#What is the deviation?
In industries, thedeviation is defined as the non-fulfillment of the requirements which canaffect the quality of the product. In this, the product does not meet therequirements of customers. The deviation is applicable to any industry such asmanufacturing, production, or any service industry. In most of the industries,while working on the activities of the processes, we face the deviation.
To understand better, we will take an example of themanufacturing industry, if they had given some parameters and features to theproduct in any organization and if it does not meet the parameter then it canbe called a deviation. If you had not used any process that you wanted to usein the production, then it is also called a deviation.
The ISO certified organizations decrease the chances ofdeviation by giving the best guidelines for the processes. Hence oneorganization should apply for ISO Certification in India to decrease thechances of deviation.
#What are the types of deviation?
In the industries, there are four types of deviation canthat are considered and that is Man, Machine, Material, and Method. But thereare many types of deviation and that is Location, Supplier, Quality, Quantity,and Delivery Time deviation.
For a better understanding of Man deviation, we will take anexample for it. If we had any manufacturing process in our organization and wehad defined the skill of the man in the levels as one, two, three, and four. Weneed a man with skill three to work on a particular process but we hire a manwith a level of skill two due to availability issues. Then it is called ManDeviation.
The machine deviation can happen if you use any conventionalmachine instead of the preferred machine that is used to produce the output.Hence if you use a different machine that is not approved that leads to machinedeviation.
Conclusion:-
The deviation occurs due to the non-availability of theparticular thing which is most essential in that process whether it can be aMan, Machine, Method, location, and many more. To avoid the chances ofdeviation, you can apply for ISO Certificationand decrease thechances of it.
