Feels like the world of data driven | management is heading in the wrong direction. | nonrandomstring wrote: | Definitely! Shewhart and Deming are massively under-rated and I | agree that today's measurement-obsessive culture is heading | "Into the Crisis" not out of it. | | Every once in a while I read the 14 points , almost like a | religious text to ask myself if I really do any of this, or | have slipped "into sin". :) | zippyman55 wrote: | I used SPC charts at work for analyzing ton (1000+) of different | computer generated jobs that had to run daily. The SW was always | under modification and the charts helped to catch the errors and | Pareto charts helped drive home people needed to fix their stuff. | I have to agree w one of the posters: " However, management did | not like that I was using something so old" and this was always a | struggle. | cardosof wrote: | I've used Deming's ideas to optimize ads and it did work way | better than bayesian ab testing or ML-based approaches. However, | management did not like that I was using something so old, so I | had to rebrand it, but it was Deming still. | nerdponx wrote: | I find it extremely weird that "data science" as practiced in | industry hasn't embraced statistical process control and | operations research. ___________________________________________________________________ (page generated 2022-11-27 23:00 UTC)
