The Pareto Principle (also known as the 80/20 Rule or the Law of the Vital Few) More than a century ago‚ an Italian economist by the name of Vilfredo Pareto observed that 80% of the land in Italy was owned by 20% of the population. Subsequently‚ others observed a similar phenomenon in other situations‚ e.g. 80% of sales come from 20% of customers‚ 80% of the rise (or fall) in the value a stock portfolio comes from 20% of the stocks‚ 80% of complaints come from 20% of problems‚ 80% of results are

competition policy is to allow the smooth functioning of the free market and the price mechanism‚ thus maximising economic welfare. As we have seen illustrated by the first theorem of welfare economics‚ competitive equilibrium in markets leads to Pareto efficient outcomes‚ at which the sum of producer surplus and consumer surplus is maximised- i.e. no firm or individual can be made better off without making somebody else worse off. This is conducive to maximising economic welfare. However‚ there appear

term "Pareto principle" can also refer to Pareto efficiency. The Pareto principle (also known as the 80–20 rule‚ the law of the vital few‚ and the principle of factor sparsity) states that‚ for many events‚ roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.[1][2] Business-management consultant Joseph M. Juran suggested the principle and named it after Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto‚ who observed in 1906 that 80% of the land in Italy was owned by 20% of the population; he developed the principle

The purpose of a Pareto chart is to separate the significant aspects pertaining to a problem from the aspects that do not have as much impact. This helps organizations know where to direct most of their improvement efforts. Pareto charts help eliminate the amount of time it takes for organizations to locate
