Needed: Real-world statistical analysis tools

From: Manufacturing Engineering | Date: November 1, 1999| Author: | Copyright information

Consider these two statements: Statistical analysis is an essential part of modern manufacturing.; Most statistical analysis today ignores realworld conditions.

Both statements are true. This seeming paradox results from the fact that statistical process control (SPQ has become our most commonly used statistical tool to ensure process quality and consistency. Yet the typical SPC system looks at the real world of factoryfloor processes through the distorting lens of its own false concepts. That's because to make sense of the raw data under investigation, traditional SPC systems make certain ...
