Explanation

A Pareto diagram (Pareto chart) is a quality tool based on the 80/20 rule (Pareto Principle), which states that roughly 80% of problems stem from 20% of causes. By displaying defects or issues in descending order of frequency, it visually identifies which causes account for the majority of problems, directing improvement efforts where they will have the greatest impact. A Gantt chart tracks schedules, a flowchart maps processes, and user documentation provides instructions-none of these prioritize improvement efforts.
