Statistics is a critical skill in quality improvement as statistical techniques can be used to describe and to understand variability. Belton Confidential: For training only 3 Variability ? Variability is the result of changes in the conditions under which observations are made. ? Variability can e about due to changes in ? material quality ? machine settings or conditions ? manpower standards ? methods of processing ? measurement ? milieu (environment) Belton Confidential: For training only 4 Population amp。 Sample ?
