The Pareto chart is a bar chart of frequencies sorted by frequency. The most popular incarnation of the chart puts the highest bars on the left and includes a line showing the scores produced by adding the heights in order from left to right. This chart is used widely in quality control settings to identify critical factors leading to failure or defects in a process. This article presents revisions that remedy problems with the chart and improve its usability in diagnostic settings.
