Tales from fault hunting

Much consultancy in industry is about hunting for faults and causes.  Sometimes the evidence is clear - increase in waste, staff malaise.  But there are layers to unravel before confirming such conclusions and we need to apply statistical tools and techniques to analyse and investigate.  We describe some recent projects and how we meet the challenge of keeping up to date.

The European Network for Business and Industrial Statistics (ENBIS) is full of fault hunters and being part of it is very helpful. The talk will describe some recent projects and outline ENBIS.'
