Pareto chart
One of the Seven Basic Tools of Quality
First described by Joseph M. Juran
Purpose To assess the most frequently-occurring defects by category†
A Pareto chart, named after Vilfredo Pareto, is a type of chart that contains both bars and a line graph, where
individual values are represented in descending order by bars, and the cumulative total is represented by the line.
The left vertical axis is the frequency
of occurrence, but it can alternatively
represent cost or another important unit
of measure. The right vertical axis is
the cumulative percentage of the total
number of occurrences, total cost, or
total of the particular unit of measure.
Because the reasons are in decreasing
order, the cumulative function is a
concave function. To take the example
above, in order to lower the amount of
late arriving by 80%, it is sufficient to
solve the first three issues.
The purpose of the Pareto chart is to
highlight the most important among a
Simple example of a Pareto chart using hypothetical data showing the relative frequency
(typically large) set of factors. In
of reasons for arriving late at work
quality control, it often represents the
most common sources of defects, the
highest occurring type of defect, or the most frequent reasons for customer complaints, and so on.
These charts can be generated by simple spreadsheet programs, such as OpenOffice.org Calc and Microsoft Excel
and specialized statistical software tools as well as online quality charts generators.

Pareto diagram
A Pareto chart is a type of chart that contains both bars and a line graph used to assess the most frequently occurring defects by category. It arranges issues in descending order of frequency so the cumulative line shows how much of the total frequency is covered by each category. This allows identification of the most important issues to address to maximize impact on reducing the total frequency. Pareto charts are one of the seven basic tools of quality control and can be created in spreadsheet programs or statistical software.
