Stratification
When to use Stratification: Stratification can be applied for root cause analysis,
sampling, hypothesis testing, and developing solutions. Stratification help answer
questions as to the frequency of defects, factors that may be contributing to a quality
problem, and the degree to which results may differ across groups.
The resulting stratification of data helps provide supplementary information needed for
root cause analysis.
