Clifford Long

I live and breathe statistics, especially its role in quality assurance and compliance. The attraction really took hold during my MBA Research Methods class, when I discovered that statistics and data science could provide insight into my company’s production and quality issues – while debunking some long-held engineering myths. I was sold.

Today, as an Accredited Professional Statistician, I help companies improve their manufacturing quality, product design and reliability, operations analytics, and regulatory compliance. I guide them to achieve profitable and sustainable growth through data-driven, fact-based solutions that weigh risk and uncertainty.

To share my passion about statistics with others, I created https://sites.google.com/crlstatistics.net/statrefs2, which offers resources on the design of statistical studies and the application of statistical methods, including Design of Experiments, Statistical Process Control and Process Capability, and Measurement System Analysis.
