		<description><![CDATA[Trying to present statistics in an interesting and engaging way is terribly challenging. In the supply chain world, we often have to communicate rather dry numbers that imply significant conclusions for how our business should be run. This has been kicking around the internet for some time now, so apologies if you&#8217;ve seen it before. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I enjoy making useful things freely available on Supply Chain View, so it&#8217;s good to find other people doing the same thing. There are 57 useful business statistics Excel files to download from the McGraw Hill website (to accompany the book Complete Business Statistics by Aczel and Sounderpandian). Among others, there are calculations for testing [...]]]></description>

I am currently trying to wade through some waters muddied by misunderstanding and poor use of terminology.

		<description><![CDATA[There was a pretty depressing story in the Guardian a few days ago that proposes, in typical newspaper hyperbole, that Britain is in the grip of a numeracy crisis. For once, the concern is justified. According to the article, there are 3 times as many UK adults with poor numeracy than poor literacy. That&#8217;s 15.1 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[You wouldn&#8217;t expect a great lesson in Six Sigma from an alcoholic Beat novelist, would you&#8230;? This is from Charles Bukowski&#8216;s first novel, Post Office, which is a semi-autobiographical account of the author&#8217;s &#8220;career&#8221; with the US Postal Service, delivering and sorting mail. I&#8217;ve mainly paraphrased the episode in order to respect the author&#8217;s copyright. [...]]]></description>

Scott Adams published a Dilbert strip in November last year with the punchline &#8220;Why don&#8217;t we jump on a fad that hasn&#8217;t already been widely discredited?&#8221; (Dilbert strips are now available online for only one month, but Gemba Panta Rei provide a full transcript in a post [...]]]></description>
