SHIRLEY COLEMAN (ISRU,
Newcastle University) 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.'
