What is Engineering Statistics?

Engineering Statistics is the field of statistics deals with the collection, presentation, analysis, and use of data along with conclusions to make decisions and solve problems in engineering. Because of the fact that industry must continue to improve the quality of its products and services if it is to continue to complete effectively therefore knowledge of statistics and probability can be a powerful tool to help engineers in designing new products and systems, improving existing designs, and designing, developing, and improving production processes by providing the engineer with both descriptive and analytical methods for dealing with the variability in observed data.
