Solution
These are small variations which are natural and inherent in the manufacturing process.
The variation occurring due to these causes is beyond the human control and cannot be prevented or eliminated under any circumstances
The minor causes which do not affect the quality of the products to an extent are called as Chance causes or Random causes.
For example Rain, floods, power cuts, etc.
