	Pareto principle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The principle was suggested by management thinker Joseph M. Juran.
		It was named after the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, who observed that 80% of property in Italy was owned by 20% of the Italian population.
		(Since J. Juran adopted the idea, it might better be called "Juran's assumption".) The assumption is that most of the results in any situation are determined by a small number of causes.

	[No title]
		Juran visited Japan in the early 1950s as a lecturer and consultant and taught the Japanese, among other things, about the Pareto principle, which he popularized as the principle of the vital few and the trivial many.
		According to Juran, breakthrough and control are part of a continuing cycle of gains and plateaus in performance, and he considers that all managerial activity is directed at either breakthrough or control (Juran, 1964).
		Juran considers that the cost of poor quality is a key factor because it represents how much the organization is losing and how much it is spending on scrap and rework.

	Deming, Juran & Feigenbaum
		Juran preaches the importance of "identifying the customer" -- that, in a large company, one's customers are the workers in adjoining departments, and that meeting their needs is the paramount challenge for every worker.
		Juran's insight was that the task of quality was too central to a company's survival to be assigned to a separate quality function.
		Juran is one of the most honored of all living scientists, and the honors have come from all around the world.

	Deming, Juran and Crosby Contrasted and Compared
		Like the Deming Cycle, the Juran Trilogy is intended to be seen as an endless feedback loop, although Juran takes the concept further and explores the practicalities of implementing such a system for any given operation, be it service or manufacturing-related.
		Juran sees the problem as being essentially that of strategy vs. tactics: quality strategy (the "Big Q" as Juran puts it) being the outlook of senior management and the organization as a whole, and quality tactics (the "Little Q") being the day-to-day operations of line workers and supervisors who are mainly concerned with individual tasks.
		Juran’s, while not independent of the marketplace, is more engineering-driven, designed to translate the customer’s vision of quality into that which can be produced.

		Juran refers to the widespread move to raise quality awareness in the emerging quality crisis of the early 1980s as failing to change behaviour despite company quality awareness campaigns, or drives, based on slogans and exhortations.
		Juran believes that, as with Japanese industry, long-term training to improve quality should start at the top, but he knows that this irritates senior management.

		Juran's works abound (to quality professionals, his massive 2,000 page "Quality Control Handbook" is sacrosanct) and are considered fundamental references for anyone interested in better understanding the meaning of quality and how best to integrate these principles in any organization.

		Quality Management pioneer, Dr. Joseph Juran, working in the US in the 1930s and 40s recognized a universal principle he called the "vital few and trivial many" and reduced it to writing.
		In an early work, a lack of precision on Juran's part made it appear that he was applying Pareto's observations about economics to a broader body of work.
		As a result, Dr. Juran's observation of the "vital few and trivial many", the principle that 20 percent of something always are responsible for 80 percent of the results, became known as Pareto's Principle or the 80/20 Rule.
