Note:  The Pareto Analysis lists the occurrences of the failed tests by frequency, with the most frequent problem noted at the top.  The horizontal axis of the chart notes the frequency of occurrence of each problem (red bar) with a cumulative percentage of all higher ranking problems (white bar).   In this case, we can note that over fifty percent of the failures were attributed to only two problems.  Therefore, by addressing these two issues, we address the cause of over fifty percent of the failed product.  The Pareto analysis is an excellent indicator of the problem areas in which corrective efforts should be concentrated.
