This book provides a comprehensive overview of data collection, which is the process of preparing and collecting data. This is usually done as part of a process improvement or similar project. Data collection often takes place early on in an improvement project, and is often formalised through a data collection plan. Its purpose is to obtain information to keep on record, to make decisions about important issues, and to pass this information on to others. Read about the process of data collection including survey methodology, sampling, blocking, and much more.
