DATA QUALITY

When interpreting the experimental estimates it is important to take into account factors that may affect the reliability of the experimental estimates.

The quality of the experimental estimates is limited by two issues:

  • the validity of the assumptions underpinning the modelling
  • the accuracy of the data used in the production of the experimental estimates.

The assumptions used in the production of the experimental estimates were outlined in Chapter 2. Users should consider the suitability of these assumptions when interpreting the experimental estimates.

Examination of the following quality indicators will also assist users in determining fitness for purpose of the experimental estimates of the manufacturing industry.
