By The Numbers

There are many things I have enjoyed about my career so far. Planning material availability and scheduling production capacity to meet aggressive customer demand. Analyzing usage trends to give suppliers long-term forecasts. Gathering data to find where the waste in an operation is, and where the value is.

Some of my relatives and friends have suggested I get a Masters in Statistics. If I do, it will be my mission to use numbers to make the world more, not less, understandable. Too often I see news reports or books where someone uses fancy equations to justify something that would make no sense otherwise. Examples of that to come.
