Data Analysis: Making the right decision & proving it!
The Southern California Discussion Group of the ASQ Biomedical Division in association with ASQ SFV section 706 Presents:
Data Analysis: Making the right decision & proving it!
An Industry Roundtable Discussion
Tuesday, Jan 15, 2013 5:30pm to 8:30pm
Topic: Assessing data, making decisions, & presenting the evidence
We will walk through many of the most commonly used statistical applications for Quality work and data analysis. Topics covered will include Data Distribution, Sampling and Sample Sizes, Hypothesis Testing, Control Charts, Gage R&R, and Capability Studies. Actual examples will be demonstrated for the use of these tools. A step-by-step approach will be shown using Minitab statistical software so feel free to bring your computer preloaded with Minitab to work live examples if you so desire. Many difficult topics will seem relatively easy by the end of this session.
Takeaways:
Know what to do with large data sets
Determine if data is normally distributed
Which tool to use for applying statistics to a project or process
Graph and interpret results from an analysis
Please bring your questions, experiences, and other commentary to make this a more valuable experience.
