Race-day performance also is measured by those closest to the action. Data collection is made easier by customizing forms to assure that the right data quickly ends up in the right place. Some race tracks have sophisticated timing devices that not only measure the qualifying lap times but also report the time the car entered and left each of the four turns. The data allow the teams to determine exactly where to take corrective action to improve lap times. Third, convert the data into useful data or information that people can quickly use to determine root cause and corrective action to improve performance.
Useful data shows current performance compared to a historical trend.
Annotating root causes for deviations from the goal makes the data very useful for taking corrective actions and preventing recurrences again, useful information. It is a way of life where equipment reliability is important. If you have problems using the Table of Contents, please use the Guide to MT-Online to find the page for which you are looking.
