 MEANING

Pareto Chart is a graphical tool to

help identify 'Vital Few from Trivial
Many'. It is based on Pareto's
principle that 80% of the defects
are due to 20% of the causes.

www.benchmarksixsigma.com
It is a bar chart depicting the
frequency of the different defect
categories in descending order.
The bar chart is superimposed
with a line graph which shows the
cumulative percentage on a
secondary y-axis.

As per the principle,
approximately 80% of my
cumulative defects will be caused
by 20% of the defect categories
(starting with the types from the
far left).

A Pareto diagram is a combination
of bar and line graphs of
accumulated data where data
associated with a problem are
divided into smaller groups by
causes. It is a dual-scale chart.

The length of the bars represents
frequency and is arranged with
the longest bar on the left and the
shortest to the right in decreasing
order.

We can use the Pareto chart
under the following conditions:

1. When we are analysing data

about the frequency of
problems in a process.
2. When we want to compare
results before and after taking
countermeasures.

3. When we are communicating
with others about our data to
make them understand in a better
way,
4. When broadly analysing causes
by looking at their specific
components.
5. When we have many problems,
we want to focus only on
significant ones.
