Engineering statistics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Engineering statistics is a branch of statistics that has three subtopics which are particular to engineering:
- (DOE) or design of experiments uses statistical techniques to test and construct models of engineering components and systems.
- Quality control and process control use statistics as a tool to manage conformance to specifications of manufacturing processes and their products.
- Time and methods engineering use statistics to study repetitive operations in manufacturing in order to set standards and find optimum (in some sense) manufacturing procedures.
