Abstract
ABSTRACT Experience in consulting in industry has convinced this author that there is a gap between statistics as it is taught in many college courses and statistics as it is practiced in industry. The size of actual data sets forces the use of computer methods, making the emphasis not, “How do you use this formula?” but, “How do you approach collection and analysis of data for this experiment?” A brief introduction is given to a few hot topics in industrial statistics normally excluded from college courses. One of these topics, process capability, measures the deviation in a set of products, compared with the specifications the products must satisfy. The Taguchi methods are introduced as a way to determine the important factors in manufacturing a product.
