𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐨 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐬: 𝟖𝟎/𝟐𝟎 𝐑𝐮𝐥𝐞?
The Pareto Principle (or the 80/20 Rule) teaches us that 80% of outcomes are driven by 20% of causes. Whether you’re tackling quality issues, customer complaints, or resource optimization, Pareto Analysis is a powerful tool to focus on what truly matters.
Here’s everything you need to know to apply Pareto Analysis effectively:

The Pareto Principle, introduced by economist Vilfredo Pareto, reveals that a small percentage of causes are responsible for a majority of results.
In business and quality management, it means identifying and addressing the “vital few” problems that have the most significant impact.

1. Define the problem: Identify the issue you want to analyze (e.g., defects, delays, complaints).
2. Collect data: Gather relevant data over a specific period.
3. Categorize causes: Group similar causes or factors into categories.
4. Measure frequency/impact: Determine the frequency or severity of each category.
5. Rank causes: Sort categories from most to least impactful.
6. Calculate cumulative percentages: Show how each category contributes to the total impact.
7. Create a Pareto chart: Visualize the data with a bar graph and cumulative line graph.
8. Identify the “vital few”: Focus on the top 20% of causes contributing to 80% of the problem.
9. Develop solutions: Prioritize actions to address the critical causes.
10. Monitor and review: Track progress and adjust strategies as needed.
