Statistical thinking is one of the tools for process analysis. Statistical thinking relates processes and statistics, and is based on the following principles:

  • All work occurs in a system of interconnected processes.
  • Variation exists in all processes
  • Understanding and reducing variation are keys to success.

    • W. Edwards Deming promoted the concepts of statistical thinking, using two powerful experiments, the Red Bead and the Funnel experiment.

    Statistical thinking is a recognised method used as part of Six Sigma methodologies.
