Paul,
When I worked for the MSOR Network with funding from the National HE
STEM Programme, we funded the RSS Centre to produce some industrial
problems in statistics for the HE curriculum.
"In this project we have developed a freely available web-based
resource of real data and problem scenarios that enable students to
attempt to solve real, individualised problems that are presented in
our industrial partner’s business – food production. At the same time,
tutor access to the solutions is available. Our use of real data from
the food producer provides context to the problem solving activity
taking place. The resources created are available for you and your
students to use."
From p. 27 here, which describes the project:
http://www.mathcentre.ac.uk/resources/uploaded/EmployerEngagement.pdf#29
The resources is here (log in as guest):

I have nothing to do with this resource now and no knowledge about
accessing it. Please contact the ICSE: http://www.icse.xyz/
Regards,
Peter.
