Training Pareto

The document discusses quality and Pareto charts. It provides examples of quality requirements for a lead pencil and explains that Pareto charts can identify the "vital few" causes that produce most problems based on the 80/20 rule. The document outlines how to create a Pareto chart by arranging issues in descending order of occurrences, calculating cumulative totals and percentages to identify the top 20% of causes. It provides an example Pareto chart showing that the top two error categories account for over 80% of total errors.

Quality - Pareto

Chart
What is Quality

•Quality has been universally understood as “Fitness


for use”.

•To industries quality means “Customer satisfaction”.

•Quality is also described as products conforming


to requirements.
What is Quality – An Example

Consider a “Lead Pencil”. The basic characteristics required are


that

 It should write smoothly

 It should not tear the paper.

 It should have a good appearance

 The lead should have optimum strength

 It should hold correctly to the pocket

 More than everything, it should not be expensive.


Quality Check Tools

• Pareto
• Check Sheets
• Graphs (line graphs, Bar graphs, pie charts)

• Ishikawa Diagram
• Scatter Diagram

• Control Charts
• Histogram
FOUNDER OF PARETO

• Pareto analysis was found/Created by


Vilfredo Pareto – Italian economist

• Vilfredo Pareto studied the


distributions of wealth in different
countries and concluded that a fairly
consistent minority-about 20 per cent-
of people controlled the large majority-
about 80 per cent- of a society’s wealth.
Vilfredo Pareto,
1848-1923 •The same distribution has been
observed in other areas and has been
termed as the ‘Pareto Effect’.
What is a Pareto?

•The Pareto Principle states that only a "vital few"


factors are responsible for producing most of the
problems.

•The Pareto Principle (80/20 rule)

•Identifies vital few from trivial many

•Helps to focus by prioritization principle


What Questions The Pareto Chart Answers

•What are the largest issues facing our


team or business?

•What 20% of sources are causing 80%


of the problems (80/20 Rule)?

•Where should we focus our efforts to


achieve the greatest improvements?
