	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Pareto analysis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Pareto analysis is a statistical technique in decision making used for selection of a limited number of tasks that produce significant overall effect.
		Pareto originally used this distribution to describe the allocation of wealth among individuals since it seemed to show rather well the way that a larger portion of the wealth of any society is owned by a smaller percentage of the people in that society.
		Pareto's theory of society claimed that there was a tendency to return to an equilibrium where a balanced amount of Class I and Class II people are present in the governing élites.

	Pareto Analysis (the 80:20 rule)
		Pareto was an elitist believing that the concept of the vital few and the trivial many extended to human beings.
		Pareto Analysis is used to focus problem solving activities, so that areas creating most of the issues and difficulties are addressed first.
		When used correctly Pareto Analysis is a powerful and effective tool in continuous improvement and problem solving to separate the ‘vital few’ from the ‘many other’ causes in terms of cost and/or frequency of occurrence.

	Pareto distribution - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pareto distribution, named after the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, is a power law probability distribution found in a large number of real-world situations.
		Pareto originally used this distribution to describe the allocation of wealth among individuals since it seemed to show rather well the way that a larger portion of the wealth of any society is owned by a smaller percentage of the people in that society.
		This idea is sometimes expressed more simply as the Pareto principle or the "80-20 rule" which says that 20% of the population owns 80% of the wealth.

		In this case, an analysis session was completed on the reasons why customers experienced undue delays in delivery of their goods from the time a picking slip is generated in the warehouse.
		The Pareto chart shows that the priority problem, the one causing greatest delays to customers, is incorrect goods being sent.Reducing the incidence of this problem will yield the greatest benefit to customers.

	Pareto Analysis :: Overview :: The Quality Portal
		Pareto charts provide a tool for visualising the Pareto principle, which states that a small set of problems (the "vital few") affecting a common outcome tend to occur much more frequently than the remainder (the "useful many").
		Pareto charts are often constructed to provide a before-and-after comparison of the effect of control or quality improvement measures.
		Pareto charts are a key improvement tool because they help us identify patterns and potential causes of a problem.

		Pareto analysis is one way to figure out what the major causes are for particular problems.
		Pareto charts are useful because most problems tend to come from one or two processes or components, rather than from a large number of causes.
		A Pareto chart is simply a histogram, where the horizontal axis shows categories (process or material problems), the vertical Y axis shows the number or proportion of incidents, and the vertical axis shows the cumulative percentage of incidents.

		Pareto analysis is a method of identifying the causes of poor quality.
		Pareto analysis is based on Juran's finding that most quality problems and costs result from only a few causes.
		Pareto analysis can be applied by tallying the number of defects for each of the different possible causes of poor quality in a product or service and then developing a fre-quency distribution from the data.

		Pareto analysis is simple; it is based on the principle that 80% of problems find their roots in 20% of causes.
		It is worthy to note that Pareto Analysis is a better tool to detects and eliminate sources of problems when the those sources are independent variables.
		A regression analysis can be used for that purpose, a coefficient of correlation or a coefficient of determination can be derived to estimate the level of association of the different factors to the problem being analyzed.

		Harris’s Component Engineering group is employing a simple statistical method known as a Pareto analysis that, when applied to maintenance work requests, can identify the equipment that contributes the most to the plant maintenance work load.
		A Pareto analysis is conducted by adding the number of work requests for each component type over the time frame of interest.
		In both of these examples the Pareto analysis provided a systematic breakdown of work requests to focus on the vital few components that have the highest contribution to plant maintenance.

		Pareto postulated that, in an entire economic population, only a few individuals controlled the majority of wealth.
		Historically, the Pareto Principle has come to be more universally known as the 80/20 rule, i.e., an 80% improvement in quality or performance can reasonably be expected by eliminating 20% of the causes of unacceptable quality or performance.

	Pareto chart helps you focus on the vital few - those few things that cause the most problems.
		Vilfredo Pareto, a turn-of-the-century Italian economist, studied the distributions of wealth in different countries, concluding that a fairly consistent minority – about 20% – of people controlled the large majority – about 80% – of a society's wealth.
		Pareto charts are used to display the Pareto principle in action, arranging data so that the few vital factors that are causing most of the problems reveal themselves.
		You can always improve these few, redo the Pareto analysis, and discover the factors that have risen to the top now that the biggest ones have been improved.
