The Local Retail Outlet
Put together a statistical report about the overall sales and deliveries of “The Local”.
In your report, please…
1. Provide a table in which you summarise complete descriptive statistics on ‘Overall sales’ and ‘deliveries’ of the goods represented by your sample data set (including but NOT limited to measures of central location, measures of variability, etc.).
What insights do these statistics provide?
Additionally, please state the coefficient of variation for ‘sales’ and
‘deliveries’ for the entire dataset. Comment on the results you observe.
2. Prepare frequency distributions (remember to use Sturge’s rule and create the appropriate similarly sized classes) and accompanying histograms and ogives for these quantitative sets.
Think about and provide additional analyses/diagrams that may be of interest.
What insights do these statistics provide?
3. Analyse ‘Overall sales’ and ‘deliveries’ for any relationship, providing a scatter plot.
Comment on the existence of a relationship, how you came to that conclusion, if a relationship exists further comment on its strength and, in any case, what this means in terms of managing the retail outlet.
4. Develop cross tabulation or contingency tables to provide information on:
a. Overall sales and fat/sugar content, please only analyse those goods that have items that exhibit Regular and Low Fat/Sugar values.
b. Item Type and deliveries.
Remember quantitative values must be presented as classes in cross tabulation or contingency tables.
Be Careful to explain any patterns or anomalies you find in your tables.
5. Prepare a pie chart to graphically represent the proportion of overall sales by each item type (create classes of overall sales for this purpose). Interpret the graph comment on any issues you perceive.

Instructions
You have examined and broadly identified the organizational problem you will address in your OIP, and have begun to identify the new process you would propose to address it. The next critical step is to refine your problem statement by defining and demonstrating the problem and process in detail. There are a number of tools you can use to do this. Two of the most useful are the cause-and-effect diagram and the process flowchart.
For this assignment, complete the following:
Create a cause-and-effect diagram to identify, analyze, and graphically depict all potential causes related to the problem, in order to uncover its root causes.
Create a graphic flowchart that briefly details all of the steps you will need to implement in your new process, over time. Identify what this flowchart reveals about the following:
Previously unidentified yet important steps.
Products or services that should have been undergoing quality checks but were not.
Instances in the old process when critical information was not shared among all involved people and functions.
Create a before-and-after flowchart that illustrates the process that was used before your proposed improvements and what it might look like after your recommendations are incorporated.
Based on the preliminary problem statement you developed in Unit 2, briefly describe the scope of your process improvement objective. For this assignment, focus on only one of the contributing causes of the problem.
Write a refined version of your problem statement based on what you have learned about your objective by using the diagram and flowchart tools.
Submission Requirements
Written communication: Written communication should be free of errors that detract from the overall message.
APA formatting: Resources and citations should be formatted according to current APA style and formatting standards.
Resources: Minimum of 3 sources required.
