Title: A System for Managing the Quality of Data Products in Statistical Organizations
Author(s): Paul Biemer*+
Companies: RTI International
Keywords: quality framework ; product quality ; Statistics Sweden ; quality indicators
Abstract:

This paper describes a general framework for improving the quality of statistical programs in organizations that provide a continual flow of statistical products to users and stakeholders. The work stems from a 2011 mandate to Statistics Sweden issued by the Swedish Ministry of Finance to develop a system of quality indicators for tracking developments and changes in statistical product quality and for achieving continual improvements in survey quality across a diverse set of key statistical products. We describe this system, apply it to a number of products at Statistics Sweden, and summarize key results and lessons learned. The implications of this work for monitoring and evaluating product quality in statistical organizations are discussed.
