A Pareto chart combines columns sorted in descending order with a cumulative percentage line, making it easy to identify the most significant factors in a dataset. Based on the 80/20 principle, it highlights which few categories account for the majority of the total impact.
This sample analyzes six types of defects found in titanium investment casting, including shrinkage, porosity, weld lack-of-fusion, and various inclusions. The columns display each defect's frequency while the cumulative line reveals that shrinkage alone accounts for over half of all defects. Custom tooltips show cumulative and relative frequency percentages, and animation brings the chart to life on load.
Follow the step-by-step Pareto Chart Tutorial to learn how such charts are built. See the Pareto Chart documentation for all configuration options.
