	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Pareto principle
		The Pareto principle (also known as the 80-20 rule, the law of the vital few and the principle of factor sparsity) states that, for many phenomena, 80% of the consequences stem from 20% of the causes.
		The Pareto principle serves as a baseline for ABC-analysis and XYZ-analysis, widely used in logistics and procurement for the purpose of optimizing stock of goods, as well as costs of keeping and replenishing that stock.
		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 principle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Pareto principle (also known as the 80-20 rule, the law of the vital few and the principle of factor sparsity) states that for many phenomena, 80% of the consequences stem from 20% of the causes.
		Pareto developed both concepts in the context of the distribution of income and wealth among the population.
		The Pareto principle has many applications in quality control, and is the basis for the pareto chart, one of the key tools used in total quality control and six sigma.

	SAS/QC Software: Basic Problem Solving
		The Pareto chart, used to determine priorities for quality improvement activities, is a bar chart that displays the relative frequency of problems in a process or operation.
		Pareto charts provide a tool for visualizing the Pareto principle, which states that a small subset 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.

	Vilfredo Pareto
		The Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto was one of the leaders of the Lausanne School and an illustrious member of the "second generation" of the Neoclassical revolution.
		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.
		Finally, Pareto's ruminations on the potential efficiency of a collectivist society were aired in the Socialist Calculation Debate that arose between the Paretians and the Austrians.

	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 Principle -- How to Apply It, and What to Avoid.
		Working in the US in the 1930s-1940s, Dr. Juran recognized a universal principle he called “the vital few and trivial many.” In one of his early papers, a lack of precision on Juran's part made it appear as though he was applying Pareto's observations about economics to other areas of study.
		Regardless of the naming origins, Dr. Juran's “vital few and trivial many” observation (the principle that 20 percent of a set is generally responsible for 80 percent of a related result), became known as Pareto's Principle or the 80/20 Rule.
		Pareto's Principle should serve as a reminder to us to stay focused on investing 80 percent of our time and energy on the 20 percent of work that’s really important.

	Pareto principle
		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.
		It is often applied to data such as sales figures (20% of clients are responsible for 80% of sales volume) or organizational productivity applied via aircraft bodies whereby 20% of an aircraft structure provides 80% of the lift (in turn would apply to 20% of individuals in an organization perform 80% of the work).
		The Pareto principle is unrelated to Pareto efficiency, which was also introduced by Vilfredo Pareto.

	Methods & Tools:Pareto Chart
		Pareto charts help teams focus on the small number of really important problems or causes of problems.
		Pareto charts are useful in establishing priorities by showing which are the most critical problems to be tackled or causes to be addressed.
		Comparing Pareto charts of a given situation over time can also determine whether an implemented solution reduced the relative frequency or cost of that problem or cause.

		The caption under these curves reads "Pareto's principle of unequal distribution applied to distribution of wealth and to distribution of quality losses." Although the accompanying text makes clear that Pareto's contributions specialized in the study of wealth, the caption implies that he had generalized the principle of unequal distribution into a universal.
		The Pareto principle as a universal was not original with Pareto.
		Pareto observed this phenomenon as applied to distribution of wealth, and advanced the theory of a logarithmic law of income distribution to fit the phenomenon.

		Because the ethical condition imposed by the Pareto principle is very weak, we can consider all of the indices that obey that principle to be members of a class of ethical order 0.
		Clearly, this principle would not be acceptable for an index of horizontal equity, but it would seem relatively uncontroversial for comparing inequality, social welfare or poverty across anonymous distributions.
		There is another principle that we have implicitly imposed since the beginning of this book and that also goes beyond the Pareto principle.

		By: Arthur W. Hafner, Ph.D. Vilfredo Pareto (1848-1923) was an Italian economist who, in 1906, observed that twenty percent of the Italian people owned eighty percent of their country's accumulated wealth.
		Over time and through application in a variety of environments, this analytic has come to be called Pareto's Principle, the 80-20 Rule, and the "Vital Few and Trivial Many Rule." Called by whatever name, this mix of 80%-20% reminds us that the relationship between input and output is not balanced.
		Pareto's rule states that a small number of causes is responsible for a large percentage of the effect, in a ratio of about 20:80.

	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.
		The Pareto effect even operates in quality improvement: 80% of problems usually stem from 20% of the causes.
		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.

		In 1897, Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, in his study of the patterns of wealth and income, observed that the distribution of wealth was predictably unbalanced.
		The Pareto Principle--in Koch's words, "a minority of causes, inputs, or effort usually lead [s] to a majority of the results, outputs, or rewards" --is hardly new; Vilfredo Pareto discovered it in 1897.
		Applied in the context of education, this principle is all about trying to ensure that teachers, students and administrators spend 80 percent of their time on the top 20 percent of things that they do best as opposed to spending that same amount of time on the 20 percent that they do least best.
