A Pareto chart contains bars and lines, where the individual values are represented in descending order by bars, and the cumulative sample total is represented by the curved line. The Pareto Chart is a very powerful tool for highlighting the relative importance among a set of factors.
In quality control for example, Pareto charts are useful for highlighting defects to be prioritized. It usually represents the most common sources of defects, the most frequent defect type or the most frequent reasons for customer complaints, and so on.
The Pareto chart has only one data source, in addition, only data coming from tables is allowed.
To illustrate the configuration of this indicator, we will again use the interface (8D) – Eight disciplines problem solving. In this example, we will display through the Pareto chart the main sources of problems, identified by users in the (D2/Problem Desc.) tab of the 8D interface.
Axis configuration
The field (Source Compl.) contains the description of the source of the problem that will be displayed in the text inside the bars. This field must be on the X axis. The function (Count(Index)) contains the total number of occurrences of each source of problems and will determine the height of the bars. This field must be on the Y axis, as shown in the figure below.
