Explanation
A Pareto chart (bar chart ordered by frequency, with a cumulative line) is specifically designed to prioritize quality issues by identifying which defects occur most often - based on the 80/20 principle that roughly 80% of problems stem from 20% of causes. A run chart tracks data over time for trends. A control chart monitors process stability with control limits. A histogram shows distribution of data but does not inherently prioritize causes for action.
