A graphical tool that helps break a big problem down into its parts and then identifies which parts are the most important.
A bar chart that arranges events in order of frequency. Named after 19th century economist Vilfredo Pareto.
A vertical bar graph showing the bars in descending order of significance, ordered from left to right. Helps to focus on the vital few problems rather than the trivial many. An extension of the Pareto Principle suggests that the significant items in a given group normally constitute a relatively small portion of the items in the total group. Conversely, a majority of the items will be relatively minor in significance, (i.e. the 80/20 rule).
A problem solving tool in the form of a vertical bar graph showing the bars in descending order of significance from left to right. A Pareto Chart focuses improvement activity on the "vital few" and not the trivial many. The 80/20 rules comes from the Pareto Principle, stating that 20% of the items account for 80% of the activity (problems, sales, defects, etc.).
a bar chart with the data
a bar graph for qualitative data
a special form of a bar graph and
a type of statistical tool used to compare events, problems, or causes according to their relative frequency or magnitude
A graphic representation of the frequency with which certain events occur. It is a rank-order bar chart that displays the relative importance of variables in a data set and may be used to set priorities regarding opportunities for improvement.
A special form of vertical bar graph that displays information in such a way that priorities for process improvement can be established. It shows the relative importance of all the data and is used to direct efforts to the largest improvement opportunity by highlighting the "vital few" in contrast to the "many others."
A bar graph used to rank in order of importance information such as causes or reasons for specific problems so that measures for process improvement can be established.
a graphical tool used for ranking root causes from most significant to least significant.
A graphical tool for ranking causes from most significant to least significant. It is based on the Pareto principle, which was first defined by J. M. Juran in 1950. The principle, named after 19th century economist Vilfredo Pareto, suggests most effects come from relatively few causes; that is, 80% of the effects come from 20% of the possible causes. The Pareto chart is one of the "seven tools of quality."
A type of bar chart where the bars have subcategories whose size show the frequency of particular components. Each bar on the graph is broken down into the same set of components. Broadly speaking, Pareto charts are used to determine whether a few categories of information account for the majority of events.
Focus on key problems and to focus efforts on the problems that offer the greatest potential for improvement by showing their relative frequency or size in a descending bar graph. Pareto principle: 20% of the sources cause 80% of any problem.
Chart used to identify and prioritize problems to be solved.
A bar chart that orders data from the most frequent to the least frequent, allowing the analyst to determine the most important factor in a given situation or process.
A bar graph with the bars sorted in descending order used to identify the largest opportunity for improvement. Pareto charts distinguish the "vital few" from the "useful many."
A Pareto chart is a special type of bar chart where the values being plotted are arranged in descending order. It is named for Vilfredo Pareto, and its use in quality assurance was popularized by Joseph M. Juran and Kaoru Ishikawa.
