The direct material price variance is influenced by external factors, such as changes in market conditions and supplier pricing, over which managers have limited control.

Managers have more control over factors such as direct material usage and machine maintenance, which can directly impact costs and productivity. Scheduling of production also falls under managerial responsibility.
