Course Description: Mastering Pareto Analysis for Process Optimization

Welcome to the comprehensive training unit on Pareto Analysis, an essential tool for evaluating datasets and identifying the frequency of causes in any given process. Named after the renowned Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, this analysis method is based on the principle that 80% of problems can be resolved with 20% effort. By focusing on the most impactful areas, Pareto Analysis is invaluable for improving efficiency and optimizing processes.

In this course, you will explore how to construct and interpret Pareto charts, a combined visual representation of absolute and relative frequencies. Learn to identify the most critical categories that present the greatest potential for improvement, such as defects, delays, or inefficiencies in business processes. Through real-world scenarios, including an in-depth analysis of supplier performance at Smartboard Company, you will acquire practical knowledge of how to apply this tool in decision-making and operational improvement.

The training is designed for participants of all backgrounds—whether you are a beginner or an experienced professional looking to enhance your skills in data-driven quality management. Using software tools like Minitab, you will gain hands-on experience in analyzing data, creating visualizations, and deriving actionable insights.

Key topics include:

  • Identifying and prioritizing process challenges.
  • Constructing Pareto charts to highlight the most significant issues.
  • Applying statistical methods for performance evaluation.
  • Comparing datasets to make informed recommendations.

No prior knowledge is required; we’ll guide you through each step. Whether you’re working in quality assurance, manufacturing, logistics, or service industries, this course provides the tools and confidence needed to excel in optimizing processes and achieving tangible business improvements.
