History Of The Pareto Principle <\/span><\/h2>

Vilfredo Pareto<\/a>, an Italian economist, observed in the late nineteenth century that 20 percent of his pea plants produced 80 percent of the pea pods in his garden.<\/p>

Based on his observations, Pareto determined that 20% of the people in Italy held 80% of the country’s wealth. This is a Pareto distribution of wealth.<\/p>

Although, the name “Pareto Principle” originated by Dr. Joseph Juran, not Pareto. Then Juran adapted Pareto’s observations to his work in operations management in the 1940s. To that effect, he assisted firms in improving production by pointing out that only 20% of manufacturing procedures were responsible for 80% of product faults. <\/p>

So, using Pareto analysis, he focused on minimizing the 20% of production difficulties to improve production quality.<\/p>

Juran termed this method the Pareto Principle, and he popularized the idea that to achieve the greatest success, we should focus on the “vital few” while ignoring the “trivial many”.\u00a0<\/p>
