Different Sources of Data with Matt Hansen at StatStuff
1.
Section & Lesson
#: Pre-Requisite Lessons: Complex Tools + Clear Teaching = Powerful Results Different Sources of Data Six Sigma-Measure – Lesson 3 A review and comparison between the different sources of where we generally collect data.

What are the
paths for data? o Source Data will either come from one or more systems or manual observations. • Data from a system can come from direct queries or system-generated reports. • Manual observations are never ideal, but they may be necessary if no source system exists. o For this training, the destination will be Minitab after first being configured in Excel. • Minitab is one of the most common among many software tools for doing statistical analysis.

Source System System Reports Excel Minitab Manual Observation
3.
Comparing the Sources
of Data o What are the differences between each type of data source? o Based on these characteristics, the ideal priorities for source data are: 1. Source System – consistent, comprehensive and generally accepted as reliable by SMEs. 2. System Reports – fast and consistent, though they may not have enough detail for analysis. 3. Manual Observation – small samples and inconsistent, but often the only source available. o The data source should balance with the analysis risks vs. rewards (time vs. accuracy).

No part of this publication may be reproduced, stored in a retrieval system, or transmitted by any means (electronic, mechanical, photographic, photocopying, recording or otherwise) without prior permission in writing by the author and/or publisher. 3 General Characteristics Can you get the data quickly? Usually Yes No Is the data detailed? Yes No Yes Is the data consistent? Yes Yes No Is historical data available? Yes Yes No Is the data easy to get (not requiring unique expertise)? No Yes Yes Is the data customizable? Maybe No Yes Is the data generally accepted as reliable? Yes Yes No Source System System Report s Manual Observation
4.
Practical Application o Think
of at least 3 prior situations you’ve worked where you had collected data. • For each situation, try to answer the following questions: What was the source for the collected data (i.e., source system, system report, or manual observation)? Why was that particular source used for collecting your data? What were some of the disadvantages (if any) by using that particular data source? If time were not a concern, then what would’ve been the most ideal source of data for the situation? Copyright © 2011-2019 by Matthew J. Hansen. All Rights Reserved.
