Pareto's law

[pə′rēd·ōz ‚lȯ] (industrial engineering) The principle that in most activities a small fraction (around 20%) of the total activity accounts for a large fraction (around 80%) of the result. Also known as rule of 80-20.

Pareto's law

A law (sometimes called the 20–80 rule) describing the frequency distribution of an empirical relationship fitting the skewed concentration of the variate-values pattern. The phenomenon wherein a small percentage of a population accounts for a large percentage of a particular characteristic of that population is an example of Pareto's law. When the data are plotted graphically, the result is called a maldistribution curve. To take a specific case, an analysis of a manufacturer's inventory might reveal that less than 15% of the component part items account for over 90% of the total annual usage value.

The mathematics required to calculate and graph the curve of Pareto's law is simple arithmetic. It should be noted, however, that the calculations need not be done in all cases. It may suffice to merely make a rough approximation of a situation in order to determine whether or not Pareto's law is present and whether benefits may subsequently accrue.
