However, on a pareto chart, the data is presented in descending order of severity from left to right. The easiest way to do this is to prepare a new table and copy the data into it in descending order.
The table we will use will have the following format:
Defect | Count | % | Cum. | Cum. % |
---|---|---|---|---|
Totals: |
You should either copy this table onto a sheet of paper, or print out a copy to fill in during the rest of the exercise.
The first three columns will contain data taken directly from the u-Chart:
There are also two additional columns in which we will be recording the cumulative frequency and cumulative precentage of the defects.
