peer agreement (net): +1top of the pareto (chart) of incidents since the launch Explanation: Yes, you are correct Chris in thinking that it is the leading incident(s), but I would use top. It's the thing that you need to concentrate on correcting to achieve the maximum results, simply put. http://todayssixsigma.com/category/real-world-examples/ Just from the numbers perspective, healthcare-caused mistakes are near the very top of the Pareto diagram of things negatively impacting society http://yousuckgetbetter.com/focus-and-performance-improvemen... “What are the top three issues (the top of the Pareto chart) and what are your plans to address them?” -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 mins (2011-06-09 21:04:41 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://jkrouwer.wordpress.com/2007/10/21/10212007-near-miss/ 1. Observe and report on all errors. 2. Classify each error as to its severity and frequency of occurrence. 3. Construct a Pareto chart. 4. Implement corrective actions for the items at the top of the Pareto chart. 5. Measure progress as an overall (e.g., combined) error rate. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_principle |

1 hr confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1Largest single category of incidents since the launch Explanation: I don't think that it is necessary to retain the reference to Pareto charts, as I think it can be confusing. The "tête de Pareto" is the first (and highest) bar in the chart and, therefore, shows the largest single category. |

| Reference: Pareto distribution Reference information: The Pareto distribution, named after the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, is a power law probability distribution that coincides with social, scientific, geophysical, actuarial, and many other types of observable phenomena. Outside the field of economics it is sometimes referred to as the Bradford distribution. : Pareto originally used this distribution to describe the allocation of wealth among individuals since it seemed to show rather well the way that a larger portion of the wealth of any society is owned by a smaller percentage of the people in that society. He also used it to describe distribution of income.[2] This idea is sometimes expressed more simply as the Pareto principle or the "80-20 rule" which says that 20% of the population controls 80% of the wealth.[3] The probability density function (PDF) graph on the right shows that the "probability" or fraction of the population that owns a small amount of wealth per person is rather high, and then decreases steadily as wealth increases. This distribution is not limited to describing wealth or income, but to many situations in which an equilibrium is found in the distribution of the "small" to the "large". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_distribution La distribution de Pareto est la formalisation de la loi de Pareto, aussi appelée principe des 80-20, courbe A-B-C. Cette distribution de probabilité suit une loi de puissance. Cet outil d'aide à la décision détermine les facteurs (environ 20 %) cruciaux qui influencent la plus grande partie (80 %) de l'objectif. : Cette loi est un outil fondamental en gestion de la qualité. Elle est aussi utilisée en réassurance. La théorie des files d'attente s'est intéressée à cette distribution, lorsque des recherches des années 1990 ont montré que cette loi régissait aussi nombre de grandeurs observées dans le trafic Internet (et plus généralement sur tous les réseaux de données à grande vitesse). Ce phénomène a de sévères répercussions sur les performances des systèmes (routeurs en particulier). : Service après-vente : 80 % des réclamations proviennent de 20 % des clients : Contrôle de gestion : 20 % des indicateurs fournissent 80 % de l'information. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareto_distribution |
