The Pareto principle is also referred to as the 80/20 rule.

It asserts that in any given scenario, 80% of the outcomes are the result of 20% of the causes.

The principal was named after Vilfredo Pareto, an Italian professional economist who observed that 20% of the population was responsible for 80% of the nation's income.The Pareto principle has been used in a variety of industries, including manufacturing, hospitality, health, software development, and marketing, to demonstrate that small things can have a large impact.

This has enabled organisations to refocus their efforts on activities that are truly important to their customers and bottom line.How to Apply the Pareto Principle (80/20 Rule)Let's look at some real-world examples of how the Pareto principle can be applied.As an example, suppose a marketing team discovers that 20% of the things they post on Facebook account for 80% of their engagement.

This is useful information for the team because it allows them to analyse the top performers and extract insights.Based on these findings, the marketing team can tailor future posts to match the tone, style, format, and other common characteristics of the top 20% of posts.

A project manager can see that 20% of app development processes account for 80% of the app's features.

This is where Six Sigma comes in to help the project management team improve the efficiency of their processes.

Customers are also more satisfied, which not only ensures the company's survival but also leads to a higher bottom line.

All of this demonstrates that Six Sigma is a valuable resource for project managers.The Right Time to Use Six Sigma in a ProjectDuring the course of a project, management can identify opportunities to apply Six Sigma and achieve better results.

Organizations can streamline processes by eliminating waste, making them easier to complete and less prone to error.

It assists the team in identifying steps that add unneeded complexity.Find the Root Cause of a ProblemSix Sigma is an effective problem-solving tool due to root cause analysis (RCA).

The Pareto Chart, 5 Whys, Fishbone Diagram, and Failure Modes and Effects Analysis are all RCA tools used by Six Sigma (FMEA).Reducing Defects and VariationA defect is an imperfection, and a variation is a result that the customer did not expect, and both are the result of a process failure.

You will almost certainly be required to solve problems using a unique skill set and methodology as part of a current project or task.

It's a communication tool that can help you get more customers and gain support from other companies.What is a Problem Statement?According to Wikipedia, a Problem Statement is a concise description of issues that problem-solving teams must address and should be presented to them (or created) before they attempt to solve the problem.In simple terms, it is a thought process that occurs prior to performing a task in order to avoid any errors during the solution process.A good problem statement should answer questions such as:What is the problem?Who has the problem?Where does the problem occur?When does the problem occur?What does the problem impact?“[A user] needs [need] in order to accomplish [goal].” With this basic formula, you can add information and arguments in favor of solving your problem.Peter Peterka, a Six Sigma Master Black Belt, emphasizes the importance of facts and research within your problem statement.

A reader of the project statement should be able to say, “YES, I UNDERSTAND IT!” on the first read.Specific – The problem statement should be precise, to the point, and should convey directly to the reader.Measurable – Problems should be regulated with frequencies or degrees.

Taiichi Ohno, a Japanese industrial engineer, is regarded as the founder of the Toyota Production System. Ohno discovered seven lean wastes (Muda in Japanese) in manufacturing processes while looking for better ways to optimise resources (the 8th waste was added in the 90s). However, as time passed, multiple industries across the vertices began to use it to add value to business processes. Having to move work in process from department to department when simpler production compositions are available, the process is considered to be a waste. It can create problems such as greater lead times in the production process, inefficient allocation of resources, defects or damage to materials and problems hidden in the inventory that take longer to surface. Excessiveness can be caused by over-purchasing of raw materials and supplies, overproducing of work in process by having long queues, or producing more product than the customer’s requirement.

In the future, the production costs will be greatly reduced as a result of this.

Because the product is solid-state, there is little to no risk of failure if proper failure prevention techniques are used.Fault Tree Analysis is one such methodology that we will discuss today (FTA).

H.Watson of Bell Labs and A.Mearbs of the US Air Force were designing safeguards for the Minuteman intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) system in 1962.

They developed the fault analysis method to improve their reliability analysis.A year later (1963), Dave Haasl of Boeing Company recognized the potential of Fault Tree Analysis as a significant system for safety evaluationWhat is Fault Tree Analysis?Fault tree analysis (FTA) is a top-down detective failure analysis technique that examines an undesired state of a system by combining a series of lower-level elements using Boolean logic.

The technique uses a graphic model of the pathways within a system that leads to a foreseeable, undesirable loss event.

The basic constructs in a Fault Tree Diagram (FTD) are gates and events where the events have an identical meaning as a block and the gates are the conditions.Fault Tree Diagram SymbolsAs discussed earlier, there are two types of FTD notations — events & logic gates.A circle represents the primary failure event.

Many businesses are actively looking for Six Sigma specialists these days, and the market is more competitive than ever.

Your pay will vary greatly depending on the industry and your specific skill level, but you can get a good idea of what you should be aiming for by looking at current statistics.Current Market SituationThe average Master Black Belt salary is currently just over $90,000.

It's important to remember that this is an average across a variety of industries and job types.

Someone could be using their skills at a smaller company that pays less while still having a similar level of understanding of Six Sigma as someone earning six figures at a large corporation.

All things considered, you can easily expect to earn more than $90,000 if you target specific industries, particularly the tech one.According to Indeed.com, the world's largest job site, the average salary for a Certified Green Belt in 2019 is $95,261 per year in the United States.
