  • Pie Charts Essay
    ...Pie Charts An important part of decision making is having a clear understanding of the information used to base decisions from. Charts can be valuable when a need to represent numerical data would benefit communicating information visually. Some of the most important aspects of a good chart are to select the right type of chart (or graph) that can best characterize the data, also, to keep the design simple in order for an audience to easily understand the information. One of the most popular types of charts is the pie chart. The pie chart is used to visually represent the proportional value of individual parts to the whole. As the name describes, this is done by representing the numerical equivalence of each part as a piece of the whole pie, which in total equates to 100%. The Pennsylvania Department of Health (2001) says that pie charts are a good choice when a relatively small amount of parts, perhaps 3 to 7, need to be represented. With any more it becomes difficult to notice the differences in magnitude; thus, the pie chart loses its simplicity and impact. They can only be used when a total amount is known, one such example would be an election where the total of votes received by all candidates equals 100% of the votes. Or a budget where the total amount spending is divided in to categories such as labor, facilities costs, advertising, etc…...

    ...Pareto Principle. Pareto charts provide facts and insights necessary for setting priorities. Pareto charts assist teams to focus on the smaller number of the causes of problems in order to aid in decision making. Pareto charts organize and display information. They are a form of vertical bar chart. Attributes are discussed. Suggestions on when to use a Pareto chart are made. Pareto analysis is one way to determine major causes of particular problems. A review is provided with suggestions for alternatives. The Pareto chart is a valuable decision making tool. Tools & Techniques Pareto Charts As a decision-making tool, the Pareto chart provides facts and insights necessary for setting priorities. Vilfredo Pareto was an Italian economist credited with establishing what is now widely known as the Pareto Principle. It is also known as the "80/20 Rule" (iSixSigma, 2006). When Pareto discovered the principle in 1906, he established that 80% of the land in Italy was owned by 20% of the population. Later, Pareto discovered his principle was valid in other parts of his life, such as gardening. For example, 80% of his garden peas were produced by 20% of the peapods. The "80/20 Rule is not literal. The ratios may vary. Rather than an even 80% to 20% ratio the exact percentage may be 82% to 18%, or 78% to 22%. However as a ‘rule of thumb' it is common...

  • Chart and Hr Data Essay
    ...information is easily accessible to whoever needs it. If the data is unclear or ambiguous it is not fit-for-purpose and is therefore redundant. When deciding on which methods to use, I was mindful of the audience and the information they needed. This information will be presented to senior managers as well as HR administrators so I have chosen to present my findings using methods that fulfil the requirements of all parties; spreadsheets (Appendix 1) and a pie chart and bar chart (Appendix 2). The spreadsheets contain detailed information and will be used to determine exactly who the affected NPL are. As I included the contract end date in this report, the data can be used to identify NPL who are nearing their 2 years of service and as a result may also be affected by the OCP. As these extracted reports are quite complex, I’ve also chosen to illustrate the data visually using a bar chart and pie chart. Both are clear, concise and easy to analyse. The charts clearly show the variance in NPL and I used different colours on the pie chart so that the difference is even more distinguishable. Now that I have provided the relevant information, the NPL work-stream are able to make decisions regarding employing NPL in IM with more than 2 years’ service. I have presented the data using different methods to support this process and will make the team aware of the data limitations. One...

  • Essay about Timeless Business Charts
    ...Timeless Business Charts Copyright 2013 Vishnuvarthanan Moorthy Data speaks thousand words and Charts speak more than that! Are you one among them who are interested in constructing fascinating charts, and do you believe management decisions can be done easily with few interpretation of charts, then you can spend some “time” to read this… Any activity/motion/process in this world not only consumes movement or energy, but they also consume time. Traditionally we have been ignoring time, time and again. Unless we work on trend or control charts we don’t represent time, instead we work to represent mostly the volume or results in our charts without giving time scale to it. No result can be produced without time and time always moves ahead and never comes back. Many a time it’s not a standard practice for us to attach or provide details of time period of data along with any chart, and we require some manger with common sense to ask the question, which time period it represents and what is the trend in this time period. If we look at any output in chart, it’s important to ask the time it consumed/it represents in a chart. A better way of representing is, every chart shall have time angle to it (only in trend/control charts and some or with timeline). Today we miss time as an indicator in our charts,...

  • Statistics-Chart and Graph Paper
    ...Charts and graph are images that present data symbolically. They are used to present information and numerical data in a simple, compact format. This paper will focus on three types of charts and/or graphs which are: pie charts, bar graphs, and histograms. What types of data there are and how the data was collected is important for the reader to understand.. According to Bennett, Briggs, and Triola (2003) there are two types of data. They are: *Qualitative data- Data consisting of values that describe qualities or nonnumeric categories. *Quantitative data- Data consisting of values representing counts or measurements (p G-4). In the following three examples of charts/graphs the type of data being displayed will be discussed. Pie Chart Excellent use of section headings! The first type to be discussed is a pie chart. A pie chart is "a circle divided so that each wedge represents the relative frequency of a particular category. The wedge size is proportional to the relative frequency, and the entire pie represents the total relative frequency of 100%" (Bennett et al., 2003, p G-3). This first chart displays the results of a 60-day survey to determine the amount of library users conducting searches within the nursing profession (Jones, 2006, p 1). Excellent citations throughout your paper. In this study qualitative data was analyzed to determine and measure...

  • SAMPLES BAR CHART Essay
    ...SAMPLES: BAR CHART ----------------Type 1: Bar chart with change over time The bar graph shows the global sales (in billions of dollars) of different types of digital games between 2000 and 2006. ... The bar chart compares the turnover in dollars from sales of video games for four different platforms, namely mobile phones, online, consoles and handheld devices, from 2000 to 2006. It is clear that sales of games for three out of the four platforms rose each year, leading to a significant rise in total global turnover over the 7-year period. Sales figures for handheld games were at least twice as high as those for any other platform in almost every year. In 2000, worldwide sales of handheld games was highest, at around $11 billion, while just under $6 billion was earned by console games. No figures are given for mobile or online games in that year. Over the next 3 years, sales of handheld video games rose by about $4 billion, but the figure for consoles decreased by $2 billion. Mobile phone and online games started to become popular, with sales reaching around $3 billion in 2003. In 2006, sales of handheld, online and mobile games reached peaks of 17, 9 and 7 billion dollars respectively. By contrast, turnover from console games dropped to its lowest point, at around $2.5 billion.
