Wikipedia About Data Collection
Data collection is a term used to describe a process of preparing and collecting data - for example as part of a process improvement or similar project.
Data collection usually takes place early on in an improvement project, and is often formalised through a data collection Plan which often contains the following activity.
- Pre collection activity – Agree goals, target data, definitions, methods
- Collection – data collection
- Present Findings – usually involves some form of sorting analysis and/or presentation.
A formal data collection process is necessary as it ensures that data gathered is both defined and accurate and that subsequent decisions based on arguments embodied in the findings are valid . The process provides both a baseline from which to measure from and in certain cases a target on what to improve.
