This NQC Quality Academy Tutorial discusses tools to help you understand and display work processes.

The module covers data analysis and data display tools, paying attention to the construction of run charts, histograms and others. Finally, it introduces cause-and-effect diagrams, a valuable and fun-to-use tool for developing and organizing theories about what might be problematic in a given process.
