Quality control experiment. Traditionally, it is hitting a mark on a smooth, flat surface below a funnel guiding marbles dropped. Demonstrates the need to remove variation from a process or a system. Unvaried repeatability increases control and lessens the need for intervention. Reduces change to what management can manage.
