Pareto Chart or Juran Diagram
A quality tool, also called a Juran
diagram, that is based the Pareto
Principle, which uses attribute
or discrete data with the data arranged in descending order, and with
the most occurrences shown first. May use a cumulative line to mark
percentages for each group or bar, which distinguishes the Pareto
Principal or the 80/20 rules that states 20 percent of items will cause 80
percent of the problems.
