represent cost or other important unit of measure. The right vertical axis is the cumulative
percentage of the total number of occurrences, total cost, or total of the particular
unit of measure. The purpose is to highlight the most important among a (typically large)
set of factors.
In quality control, the Pareto chart often represents the most common
sources of defects, the highest occurring type of defect, or the most frequent
reasons for customer complaints, etc. See this help file how to use our tool.

percent of the causes.
