Validating a Coin-Op Laundromat's Unpaid-Cycle Sensor Alert Against Owner-Audited Coin-Meter Counts
A research poster from the School of Continuous Improvement pairs fourteen weeks of a coin-op laundromat's sensor-issued unpaid-cycle alerts against the owner's own audited coin-meter counts across eighteen machines, finding alert frequency tracks a machine's distance from the entrance far more closely than it tracks the audited shortfall it is meant to flag.
