How would the C & E diagram may aid the team in selecting what to change in attempting to improve the process?

The team identified TWO possible causes.

i. The temperature control system: The paint deposition on the component is directly related to the temperature of the paint bath. Any variation in temperature results in variability in paint thickness on the component.

ii. Pigment replenishment system: The amount of paint pigment in the paint bath is related to the speed of pigment deposition. Any variation in the strength of the pigment in the bath results in variability of paint thickness on the component.
