Pareto Analysis is a Problem Identification Tool ...
The Pareto concept is one of the most pwerful quality available to the quality practitioner and is extremely useful in identifying oppurtunities for process improvement.
4 steps to be followed in preparing a pareto analysis : - Name the events that will be analyzed - Count the 'named' incidents - Rank the count by frequency using a chart bar - Validate reasonables of the analysis
RE: What is Pareto Analysis? Where it will be used? Give an example?
Pareto analysis is a statistical technique in decision making that is used for selection of a limited number of tasks that produce significant overall effect. It uses the Pareto principle – the idea that by doing 20 of work you can generate 80 of the advantage of doing the entire job. Or in terms of quality improvement a large majority of problems (80 ) are produced by a few key causes (20 ).
Pareto analysis is a formal technique useful where many possible courses of action are competing for your attention. In essence the problem-solver estimates the benefit delivered by each action then selects a number of the most effective actions that deliver a total benefit reasonably close to the maximal possible one.
Pareto analysis is a creative way of looking at causes of problems because it helps stimulate thinking and organize thoughts. However it can be limited by its exclusion of possibly important problems which may be small initially but which grow with time. It should be combined with other analytical tools such as failure mode and effects analysis and fault tree analysis
