- How many data points do you need to collect ? How many days do you need to collect data for ? What is the sampling strategy ? Who will collect data and how will data get stored ? What could the potential drivers of variation be ?DDefineMMeasureAAnalyzeIImproveCControl9AnalyzeHow well or poorly processes are working compared with- Best possible (Benchmarking)- Competitors
