Engineering statistics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Engineering statistics is a branch of statistics that has several subtopics which are particular to engineering:

  1. (DOE) or design of experiments uses statistical techniques to test and construct models of engineering components and systems.
  2. Quality control and process control use statistics as a tool to manage conformance to specifications of manufacturing processes and their products.
  3. 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.
  4. Reliability engineering which measures the ability of a system to perform for its intended function (and time) and has tools for improving performance.
  5. Probabilistic design involving the use of probability in product and system design
