20% Efforts 80% Results

Pareto Analysis is a statistical technique in decision-making used for the selection of a limited number of tasks that produce significant overall effect. It uses the Pareto Principle (also known as the 80/20 rule). The idea is that by doing 20% of the work you can generate 80% benefit out of the entire job. In any given task, job, report, project, situation etc. 5% or less is vital task and the rest 95% is not very significant. Many a times, it so happens that we are hooked to that 95% of tasks wasting our energy, time and resources. The 5% tasks which are more significant are often overlooked.

For example, in accountancy; less than 5% items in the financial statement are vital which needs your attention. If we talk about production, less than 5% machines are most critical which are critical for whole process. In case of marketing, less than 5% customers are most important who can give your maximum business. In other words, this principle is applicable in almost all type of situations.
