Course Overview
Engineers generate vast amounts of operational data but often lack the structured analytical skills to extract meaningful insights. This three-day practical course equips engineers with data analysis techniques, visualisation tools and performance measurement frameworks to drive better technical decisions and operational improvements.
Learning Outcomes
- Structure and clean engineering datasets for analysis
- Apply statistical analysis techniques relevant to engineering operations
- Build clear data visualisations and operational dashboards
- Develop and monitor engineering KPIs using data-driven methods
- Identify inefficiencies and cost reduction opportunities through data
- Present data-driven findings and recommendations to technical and management audiences
