Abstract:
|
The Applied Statistics Group in DuPont resides within its Engineering Department so "statistical engineering" is a natural extension of our function. An early example of statistical engineering as defined in recent literature is that of DuPont's Process Quality Management. As our group has evolved there are many more such examples developed in our consulting practice that have demonstrated the increased value of our group and the application of our discipline on the company as a whole. This talk will discuss the common features of such efforts in consulting which include a strong prevalent business need, collaboration, evolution of the methodology, and, of course, the unique contributions of statisticians.
