Description: This session will dive into the hot topic of leading indicators: quality, health, safety and environment (QHSE) . It will show how combining a large global data set using fundamental statistical methods can help you determine the factors that affect performance outcomes and provide the mathematical support for your findings. We will discuss how variables can be analyzed and identify factors which have the strongest association to outcome losses. We will review how these proven leading indicators may be used on management scorecards to influence execution and continuously improve performance.
