Q What is the difference between data and information? How does data become useful
information to improve the quality in your organization?
Ans: Data is basically the raw information whereas information is the refined form. Data is
collected, then processed and converted into information. When data is processed, manipulated
and organized it converts into information. This data and information helps the organizations at
various steps and in various procedures. When we find out anything then it may be considered as
data but when it is processed and then organized it becomes information. Data is required by
every company to make all the decisions. No decision can be made without considering the fats
and the figures and this data is actually those fats and figures. This data is required for the
improvement process and is stored in the system. While making any decision this data is
retrieved and from it the relevant information is derived thus forming the base of the decision.
By storing the data one more benefit could be to compare the present and the past trends which
also show the performance of the company.
