To get the job done, you need the right tools. Lean Six Sigma students at Wake Technical Community College, based in Raleigh, NC, are learning that JMP statistical discovery software from SAS is a tool well worth carrying in their kits. Wake Tech has been offering a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt and Black Belt […]
Approving a commodity – a plant or plant products – for entry into the US requires identification of exotic pests associated with it in its country of origin, analysis of those pests and a mitigation plan to control them as the commodity moves along its path to the consumer. To safeguard US agriculture and natural […]

A premature lake, never heard of it? Michelle Woolfolk is a water resources engineer for the City of Durham, NC, who’s mission is to prevent eutrophication (algae blooms from water overly enriched with minerals and nutrients). Decomposing algae robs the water of oxygen, sometimes suffocating fish and causing the lake to age too quickly. Falls […]

In the fight against extinction, conservation scientists must assess hundreds of complex ecological and behavioral variables to gain essential insight into habitat attrition and population dynamics. Use JMP® to run multiple survival analyses and build statistical models that help researchers to identify the best adaptive management strategy for at-risk species. Several formerly declining species are now […]

Maryam Zahabi, an industrial engineer at North Carolina State University, uses JMP® to analyze designed experiments that gauge the effects of on-road signage and in-vehicle technologies on driver attention allocation among both civilian drivers and police officers. Visual stimuli both from inside and outside a vehicle are responsible for hundreds of distracted driving deaths each year. […]
