Description
This unit of competency defines the skills and knowledge required to apply statistics and probability techniques to engineering applications and includes the use and application of standard statistical and probability concepts and modelling methods to engineering and manufacturing situations.Engineering applications related to statistics and probability skills may include those related to assisting decision-making in industry by analysis of data using statistical and probability concepts and tools, informing maintenance decisions and reliability analysis, identifying the most appropriate outcome of manufacturing trials and determining the effectiveness of process improvement techniques.The unit applies to engineering or related activities and is suitable for people giving technical support to design, operations or maintenance activities and those pursuing technical qualifications and careers at paraprofessional or technician level.No licensing, legislative or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.
