Continuous Improvement & Quality Analysis
Pareto Analysis
Identify the vital few contributors using summarized counts, raw defect/event lists, or stratified defect data. The tool ranks categories, calculates cumulative percentage, and highlights the 80% reference threshold.
Supported Data Structures
Summarized Counts
Use when each row already contains a category and occurrence count.
| Category | Count |
|---|---|
| Documentation error | 42 |
