Abstract
Given the need to increase the use of scientific methods during the design process, it has been proposed to explain through an example of the practice of this discipline, the use of the Kendall statistician for decision-making, an element in which designers constantly they are immersed during their professional performance and why not during their time at the academy. This process goes through the planning and carrying out of various activities that will vary according to the design commission and organized by phases and stages according to different authors. Design ceased to be an intuitive and casual discipline, becoming a scientific discipline and therefore all the authors of the teaching process must be involved in understanding it and materializing it in their performance with students. From the moment that the designer faces different problems to give him an "optimal" solution, he is already obliged to use methods that lead him safely to that solution, because it should not be the product of chance, but must be based on methods that allow you to save resources, obtain better product performance, achieve recyclable materials that are not harmful to the environment. All this requires having mathematical tools and the consultation of those who consider themselves experts in the field of knowing what is being dealt with, starting from the search for information and compilation of the most interesting, to the selection of the optimal solution. To reach these conclusions, the designer should not start from his personal criteria, and even more so if his experience is not entirely broad, for this he must resort to proven statistical methods, which will surely make him take the right path regarding a selection. alternative previously agreed upon. Due to the aforementioned, the objective of this work consists of: Familiarizing designers with the use of a statistician that helps to obtain consensus among experts on a certain question, to apply it to their design projects when required.
