Managing the Quality of Quantitative Analysis
By Anirudh Dhebar
Winter 1993
Reprint 3426
Volume 34, Number 2, pages 69-75, 7 pages
Primary Topic: Operations
Secondary Topic: Service and Quality

Summary

Shouldn't quantitative analysis -- the results of which influence many managerial decisions -- be held to "total quality" and "zero defect" standards? The author suggests that managers become exacting consumers of quantitative analysis, demanding and creating the proper environment for a high-quality product without logical or methodological defects. He shows managers how they can become more effective users of analysis, he identifies the ingredients of a sound quantitative analysis methodology, and he recommends ways to improve the quality of analysis in organizations.
