Asking the Right Questions

Purpose

This seminar provides managers and supervisors with an opportunity to apply statistical skills acquired in earlier courses. Participants learn to synthesize and evaluate the results of research and data-gathering efforts as intelligent consumers of data, ask correct and appropriate questions, make appropriate observations, and suggest sensible follow-up strategies when presented with the results of industrial research. The participants will walk through the appropriate analyses of a number of studies actually conducted in various plants. Analyses corresponding to both the vendor and customer perspective are explored.
