What are Pareto Diagrams? They are specialized column graphs Used to identify major and minor issues Helps to prioritize issues clearly Easily understood and commonly used in

Management Presentations

How to make a Pareto Diagram The first requirement is to use this for

accurately collected data related to one issue

Although similar to a column graph, it has a cumulative feature that will equal 100%

Movement of Heavy vehicle Quality of material used is below the

standard No/ improper maintenance of roads Road digging for poles, electric cables, gas

pipelines etc. Paucity of funds for not being able to

undertake vital projects Many people appear to be lacking civic

sense Committee which approves road contracts,

appears to be the main culprit

Symptoms for potholes

Movement of Heavy vehicle Committee which approves road contracts,

appears to be the main culprit Road digging for poles, electric cables, gas

pipelines etc

Identification of symptoms that account for 80% frequency

1.As the road quality is already bad , the frequent movement of heavy vehicles causes the deterioration of roads

This causes traffic jams and even lead to accidents

Apart from this, if one travels by this road every day, one can be assured of having back problems and aches pretty soon

Problem Definitions based on 3 above

2.Due to corruption ,the tenders are alloted to even the inefficient contractors which results in the bad quality of roads and hence the problem of potholes arise in the cities

Due to the limited number of contractors there is often the shortage of funds for not being able to undertake vital projects

3.Many people appear to be lacking civic sense. People behave as if it is their birthright to dig a road.

We do not have Clean Up marshals to keep a watch on violators. But strict enforcement brings in its wake its own problems. 

It clearly displays which data is most significant

Allows easier decision making as to which issues to attack first

Upholds the theory that 80% of problems are caused by 20% of the issues

Allows you to maximize your results by attacking major issues first

Most cost effective use of resources to solve problems
