Originality There are few empirical studies on the application of the statistical thinking and techniques which study their difficulties of implementation and their benefits in manufacturing companies. Research method A web survey of a sample of 243 manufacturing companies.Main findings The companies, in general, use some statistical principles and basic techniques for process control and improvement, however, companies that use principles and techniques more consistently have greater operational and team benefits. The main difficulties are associated to lack of culture and knowledge. Implications for theory and practice The statistical application enables effective processes improvements and it is associated with motivation for further improvements, consolidation of improvement programs and culture of quality. This finding suggests managerial implications such as to plan actions to deploy and disseminate the culture of statistical thinking in an evolutionary way, training and support for use and to overcome barriers. 2018 artículo científico 0103-6513 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=396754754025 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3967/396754754025/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3967/396754754025/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3967/396754754025/396754754025.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3967/396754754025/movil 10.1590/0103-6513.20180062 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3967 Production application/pdf Associação Brasileira de Engenharia de Produção Production (Brasil) Vol.28 |
