Kenett, R., Ramalhoto, M.F. e Shade, J. (2005), “Statistical Practitioners: A New Profession in Business and Industry”, Scientific Computing World, Issue 81, pp. 41-42

Medical practitioners are experts in the diagnosis and treatment of illnesses and injuries. Medicine could provide a role model for practitioners of industrial statistics who are concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of problems in business and industrial processes. Statisticians usually work with process-experts to diagnose problems and to generate and test ideas leading to process improvement. Some members of ENBIS have argued that the creation of a library reflecting the body of knowledge now in use would greatly aid the development of industrial statistics into a more widely recognised profession. Among other benefits, this should allow methodology leaders in business, such as master black belts in six sigma programmes, to obtain a comprehensive picture of what their statistical practitioners might tackle, and how. For example, profiles of a variety of industries could show the types of problems and product-development opportunities to which the statistical practitioner could contribute. Complex designs requiring optimisation may have inadequate measurement processes, poorly monitored and adjusted production processes. Mis-matched inventory levels and consumer-demand estimation are some commonplace opportunity areas that could be made more focused with the benefit of industry specific insights.
