How to turn text to data
A few months ago I had a rock-solid idea that data is a nicely organized set of numbers and categorical values ordered and set in a table format.
Yeah, I have to confess: I was all wrong and I changed my mind…

Manufacturing and Data
Ever wondered about the state of data analysis in UK manufacturing?
My recent poll in the Manufacturing UK group and last year’s government study about the “UK Business Data Survey 2022” have some interesting insights into weaknesses and opportunities.

Statistical methods in manufacturing
When we need to make improvements and use statistics is the real 6sigma work – improving process stability. The outcome of your efforts is the improvement in the variance, so you need to consider using the F-test or my favourite, the ANOVA. The benefit of using ANOVA (I mean the one-way ANOVA) is simple: you spend time setting up your Excel calculation table once, but later, with minor adjustments (if any) you can run a quick analysis on multiple sets of samples. Furthermore, It’s the best tool to investigate process stability over the production run: start-up, steady run, after a material change, or around stoppages.
