MB 641 - Statistical Thinking

This course applies the principles of the theory of variation in developing statistical thinking for the improvement of the organization and its management. Students will develop practical understanding of the principles, procedures, and tools associated with statistical thinking (not techniques). It will teach a theory of management common to any improvement approach (TQM, Six Sigma, Lean, etc.) and give a context for integrating improvement into everyday work – not as a “bolt on” program to current operations.

  • Final Assessment: Final Project

  • Apply the theory of variation for improved practices.
