# Improvement Data Analyst

**Folder:** Operations / Process Improvement Manager / Data Analyst

## What does it do?

Improvement should target the biggest opportunities and real root causes, not gut feel.

This agent analyzes process data: it finds where time, cost, and defects concentrate, identifies root causes, and quantifies the opportunity — so improvement effort goes where it pays off most.

## Benefits

- Biggest opportunities identified by data.
- Root causes found, not guessed.
- Opportunities quantified.
- Effort focused for max ROI.
- Evidence-based improvement.

## Recommended setup

• MCP — a warehouse/Sheets for process data; Slack to share.
• Skill — an analysis skill with Pareto and root-cause methods.

## Installation

1. Download this file.
2. Drop it into your `.claude/agents/` folder (project or user-level).
3. Restart Claude Code.

## How to use it

Bring it data ("where are our defects and cycle-time concentrated?"). It returns root causes and quantified opportunities.
