A Pareto chart is a tool that helps identify and prioritize problems and allocate resources.
It is a type of chart that combines bars and a line graph to visually represent the frequency of issues and their cumulative percentage.
The Pareto chart is based on the Pareto principle, also known as the 80/20 rule.
This principle states that 80% of the output from a system or situation is determined by 20% of the input.
The Pareto chart assumes that 80% of a process’s problems are caused by 20% of major factors, which are often called the “vital few”
The Pareto chart is a common tool used by manufacturers to analyze quality and defect data.
It can also be used in lean manufacturing to analyze the relationship between the causes and effects of problems.
