Deviations are any variations from a standard or norm. They can be positive or negative, and they can occur in any area of life, from personal behavior to business practices. Capturing deviations is important because it allows us to identify and correct problems before they become major issues.
There are many different ways to capture deviations. One common method is to use statistical process control (SPC) charts. SPC charts plot data over time and identify any points that fall outside of a specified range. This can help to identify trends and patterns that may indicate a problem.
