Abstract
Enhancing industrial quality requires communication between many individuals each faced with unique responsibilities. All are part of a learning process requiring information-laden data and quantitative communication skills. Statisticians increase the speed of this learning process by emphasizing the simplest tools of statistics, most particularly graphics and elementary experimental designs.Keywords
