PLANNING FOR DATA COLLECTION 1

Defining the process metric involves understanding how the process can be quantified. Problem Solving is a series of activities to diverge our thinking then converge on a solution using data. We may start with brainstorming to develop a list of divergent possibilities, then collect data and do a Pareto analysis to converge on the best opportunities. We next brainstorm to understand the potential root causes (a divergent activity), then collect data to investigate these links (to converge on a better understanding of the problem, or perhaps even the solution). In this way, problem solving involves a combination of analytical tools, where our data is represented by numbers, and brainstorming tools, where our data is ideas. The tools we will investigate in this section can be used to begin understanding the process mechanics, so that suitable process metrics and measurement points (in space or time) are discovered.
