The Vulnerability Analysis
Published in Thomas E. Welch, Moving Beyond Environmental Compliance, 2018
A pareto chart is a type of bar chart which helps you visualize the relative “size” of one problem to another. The notion behind the pareto analysis is the 80, 20 distribution — 20% of the problems have 80% of the impact. The 20% are the vital few problems where you should focus your attention. Separating the data in this way helps you prioritize the relative importance of priority of one problem over another. To use this tool you need to have some data. You can either use existing data or gather the information you need. Then you group the data by consistent units of measures such as pounds, man hours, dollars, etc. Next, you simply create a bar chart with the frequency of occurrence on the left vertical axis and categories of problems on the X or horizontal axis. As you plot the data you order the categories according to their frequency of occurrence (how many), not their classification (what kind) in descending order from left to right. I also like to use a right vertical axis to measure the cumulative percentage of total occurrences summed over all the categories, as shown in Figure 5.8.
Evolutionary Programming and Heuristic Optimization
Published in James A. Momoh, Adaptive Stochastic Optimization Techniques with Applications, 2015
Pareto analysis is a tool used to identify and prioritize problems for solution. Pareto analysis is used to determine what problem should be solved. Once identified, the problems can be solved using one of the preceding methods discussed. Simply Pareto analysis uses a Pareto chart (specially organized histogram) to identify the system problems, which are of greatest concern, so that priority can be assigned. Pareto is used to solve a multiobjective optimization problem, which is defined as minx∈NF(x)
Project Systems Scheduling

In a large project network, there may be paths that are near critical. Such paths require almost as much attention as the critical path since they have a high potential of becoming critical when changes occur in the network. Analysis of subcritical paths may help in the classification of tasks into A, B, and C categories on the basis of Pareto analysis. Pareto analysis separates the “vital” few activities from the “trivial” many activities. This permits a more efficient allocation of resources. The principle of Pareto analysis originated from the work of Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto (1848–1923). In his studies, Pareto discovered that most of the wealth in his country was held by a few individuals.

Pareto analysis is a formal technique that ranks the influence of individual variables on response.[29] The Pareto analysis clearly showed that the order of effective variables on average size of AgNPs was quadratic effect of incubation time (hour) (14.21%) > quadratic effect of incubation time (hour) and rate of shaker incubator (rpm) (14.21%) > rate of shaker incubator (rpm) (13%) > quadratic effect of rate of shaker incubator (rpm) (10.74%) > quadratic effect of AgNO3 concentration (mM) and temperature of shaker incubator (°C) (9.7%) > quadratic effect of temperature of shaker incubator (°C) (8.7%) > quadratic effect of rate of shaker incubator (rpm) and incubation time (hour) (7.76%) > AgNO3 concentration (mM) and temperature of shaker incubator (°C) interaction (6.04%) > temperature of shaker incubator (°C) and rate of shaker incubator (rpm) interaction (5.26%) > quadratic effect of pH of solution (3.87%). These ten terms accounted for 93.49% of cumulative effects on average size of AgNPs (Figure 6).

Pareto Analysis is a statistical decision-making technique used to select a small number of tasks that have a significant overall impact. Tembo Silungwe and Khatleli (2020) used Pareto analysis to assess the allocation of pertinent risks in the Zambian building sector. Pareto Analysis can be used for various purposes, including root cause analysis (Varma and Lal 2020; Al-Baldawi and Hussein 2020) and finding CSFs (Wibowo, Handayani, and Mustikasari 2018).

Finally, to check the robustness of the decisions we carried out a sensitivity test by reducing the dominating factor value by 20%. The rationale for this is derived from the Pareto analysis, which states that 20% of issues will have 80% impact. Overall, we did not find a significant change in the sourcing decisions of the two categories of managers.
