Abstract:
|
Many problems faced by modern companies require appropriate statistical input to ensure the proper decision is made. However, the number of statisticians in most companies is too small and/or the statisticians are not properly placed organizationally to allow their direct participation in all decisionmaking processes that would benefit from statistical input. This talk will focus on methods the organization and/or statisticians can use to better leverage limited statistical resources and thus increase the decisionmaking processes that will benefit from statistical input. Methods discussed will include use of in-house training programs to teach employees basic statistical methods, moving from a "do" to a "review" model for project teams that have resources trained in basic statistical methods, and the creation of parastatisticans.
