Pareto Chart
The Pareto Chart is a special bar chart for identifying and prioritizing causes, problems or errors. It is based on the Pareto principle, which states that 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.
Effort: small Difficulty: medium Effectiveness: short
A Pareto chart is usually created by one person. It is not tied to a specific point in time, but should be used when problems need to be identified and prioritized.
💡 Tip from practice: Use software tools such as Excel or specialized quality management software to create Pareto charts efficiently.
