In this chapter and this book, we have navigated through a beautiful journey of building smarter decisions from IoT when it intersects with decision science. We started our humble journey by understanding the fundamentals of decision science, the Internet of Things, and industry-standard frameworks to solve a problem. We spent quality time to understand the problem more concretely by studying the different dimensions that can be used to define a problem. In the second chapter, we touched base with two important areas of the IoT problem universe-Connected Assets and Connected Operations. You learned to design the approach and draft the blueprint for a problem using the problem solving framework. We leveraged a real IoT use case from the manufacturing industry where we tried to solve the problem of improving the quality of the manufactured product.
In Chapter 3, using the R software, we practically attempted to solve the business use case we defined and designed in Chapter 2. You learned...
