The variance would signal the need to undertake an investigation that would uncover the reason for the variance. Because variances are usually computed long after the fact, operating personnel seldom rely on variances to signal process problems. Rather they can usually predict variances on the basis of their direct observation of the process. Given this fact, does variance analysis really play any useful role in organizations?
