Problem Solving Techniques #1: Pareto Analysis

[@stjimkia]

Dr. O'Loughlin, Thanks so much for posting these videos. I just finished the one on doing a histogram with a frequency distribution. And by the way, you have a very nice accent and a sophisticated way of articulating your presentation. It was very easy to understand and follow everything you said. Thank you.

[@mefter0913]

Thank you! I watched several people explain the "histogram" part - thanks, I knew that already - before I finally found a video that explained the way to calculate the "percentage" part on the right side of the graph! You're the first person to explain that it was a cumulative percent, and I really appreciate your thorough explanation. The example you gave was perfect for helping me understand this concept.

[@ICSOKO]

This is the best explanation of Pareto Analysis yet. I have been all night trying to understand this because it covers 1/3 of my Assignment. On our paper text provided it didn't explaining very well and the examples still did not make sense which got me searching online for someone or somewhere to help me understand this principle better. I could use excel to plot/calculate values required for Pareto Analysis but was still asking myself "what does this all mean?" but this video is super clear.

[@getnaleen]

At the very beginning I thought this video was absolute nonsense as the way you speak was not good for any listener. You bind words together and breaths heavily in between which makes so hard to listen. But your visual presentation was very good, so I kept listening. At the end you were the only one who explained Pareto Analysis very well. So, I encourage viewers NOT to give up and keep viewing...at the end you will get the real benefit. And thank you "eoloughin" for putting up this video.

[@vijayverma4479]

dont know why people are so negative to comment about the low sound... whoever came to learn will not complain about the issue which could be easily adjusted at their end... Eugene it was very good video.. many thanks for your efforts ..

[@EugeneOLoughlin]

:-)

[@Deimos000]

Thank you so much. This (and your Ishikawa explanation) helped me a lot in my research why our support desk is occupied with 'nothing'.

[@Ballack13ify]

Very good Video

[@Evlasecmeler]

I can not focus on the main issue, i just think your nose is congested. As you speak fast, i have to pay all my attention to understand what you say. I can hear you breathe during speech. If i am right, you are probably having sinus problem because of your nose. (I am not a medical doctor, this was just a prediction, dont get mad at me please) Besides, i certanly learned what pareto is, this video is really usefull. Thank you for sharing.

[@hardytomar3185]

vry useful for industry work

[@EugeneOLoughlin]

Hi Naleen - many thanks for viewing my video and for your kind comments and encouragement about my explanation. Unfortunately the way I speak is the way I speak - these videos are made at my desk with a basic microphone. Hopefully it did not detract too much from the video for you. Dr E.

[@MsRyanrose]

Hi Dr.Eugene,Ive b'coma big fan of all ur video series.its apt and very clear and to the point.Great work Doc !!!!

[@jonthompson3328]

Wonderful video. Thank you for sharing.

[@raghavendrasblr]

Thank you sir well explained

[@ganeshjanakan]

Hello eoluoghlin, Thank you for posting this! Very nice explanation of pareto chart! kudos! since many are getting enlightened by your presentation. very lucid!

[@RJN4444]

Thank you so much for posting this video. Great explanation of Pareto Analysis in less than 10 mins - awesome!!

[@princesingh6170]

Very Good Explained everything needed to know,

[@easydoesitgeek]

Your explanation was clear, but I did have to do some side research to find out how to calculate the cumulative percentage. However, the video is useful and I did learn a lot. I will definitely use this technique.

[@143tarunkumar]

a clear example made us to understand very well..thank u

[@jujucamelliebum5012]

Thanks. Finally grasped Pareto diagrams.

[@donforex]

The only change I would recommend to make it a "true" pareto chart is to change the left axis maximum to the total amount of occurrences. This will make the percentage and the number of occurrences of the first element correct where the percentage and the top of the first element should meet.

[@satheeshkrishnankannaiyan5577]

Excellent!!!

[@לירןזיידמן-ג7י]

Hello Dr. Eugene, I realy enjoyed your clips, they can be very useful.

Very good explanation! I had no trouble understanding you, but having lived in Ireland for two years might have helped haha.

[@chantelleyurechuk9764]

[@estebanrocha8904]

this book is not available anymore... Does anyone know how I can get it?

[@EugeneOLoughlin]

Hi Esteban, The book is available from Amazon at: www.amazon.com/Introduction-Business-Systems-Analysis-Techniques/dp/1731557876. Many thanks for you interest in the book. Dr E.

[@nour.m8205]

Thank you!

[@futureapexx9635]

thanks a lot man. really helped me

[@valq1]

Thank you, this has been very useful!!! I am getting ready for a presentation and this has helped me a lot.

[@idlewolf7196]

Top o' the morning to y'all laddies!

[@jeromepeter1923]

Thank you very much Sir ! It was really helpful with my project !

[@nuraddeenmuhammadbabangida3444]

Good, but will be better if you can talk slower. Thanks

[@Newgenerationkid17]

I honestly can't believe that NOBODY attempted to make a 'I am the twenty percent!' joke at the beginning.

[@malcolmbryant]

Pareto can show up as 80/20 but the fact they add up to 100 IS A COINCIDENCE. The "per cents" are of two different things. Real analyses often reveal 80/10 or 20/60 distributions. A good convention would be to always express it as 'adding up to 100' whilst reminding all that they represent different things so various 'skewings' would be shown as 95/5 (wealth for example) 80/20 (many things) or (if perfectly equitable) 50/50.

[@johnerwindeguzman6091]

This is amazing! the cumulative % was the curve ball. Nonetheless everything was encapsulated in less than 7 minutes.

[@TinyTunesStudios]

tHANKS

[@amirulhaziq9974]

2:53 for fun

[@sanchiajogessar139]

Thank you so much!! It really helped. :)

[@kirands3504]

It's great video but consider speaking little loud😓

[@pennieholley24]

Cant hear you with sound up high. Speak into the microphone and slow down

[@birdangry1249]

You say for only you listening?????

[@zokna]

Louder pleas!

[@mercurio0000]

volume to low.

[@cach_dies]

It seems like this guy is saying a single that is 7 minutes long.

[@hans3331000]

did someone glue your teeth shut?

[@EugeneOLoughlin]

Hi Jim, No - my teeth were not glued shut ;-) This video was published 9 years ago when my audio equipment was poor - a simple desk mic with the old Windows Movie Maker to "glue" the separate audio track and PowerPoint slides together. One really had to get one's "teeth" stuck in to create videos in those days. Nevertheless, I hope that you found the video useful. Dr E.

[@evaristocalderon]

i know i could not finish watching the video cause his nose was so congested and could hardly understand he probably was hangover hahaha them irish hahahahaha

[@iboandbenjobrotherschannel8467]

what the heck. cant understand anything. Why talks from his nose

[@PineappleHannah]

I thought I was the only one to find it irritating

[@iboandbenjobrotherschannel8467]

Pineapple Hannah i have heard it is difficult to understand scottish and irisih accent. but this guy just speaks his own accent

[@EugeneOLoughlin]

objective Pineapple Hannah Sorry guys - I was born and raised in Ireland! Nothing I can do about my accent. :-) Dr E.

[@robertnoyes]

Eugene O'Loughlin I'm sitting in Virginia over here in the New World, Doc, and I didn't have any problems understanding you. Great video. Thanks!

[@rwdyer2263]

+objective I'm in Hawaii and I can understand you just fine! Thanks for the info.

[@darylnepomuceno4283]

His speak was too fast! I can't understand... :(

[@xodeproductio8339]

speak clearly! its hard to understand

[@mbankat1]

"... not good for any listener ..." Since yours is the ONLY similar complaint, and as I have no problem with his manner of speaking, perhaps you should speak for yourself and not all (any) listener. It seems to me you need to adapt to persons with accents not like your own. You will need that skill in the global village we all work and play in.

[@pruthviraj6579]

slow down brother....

[@roohulhaq]

could be made more interesting

[@mohamedshaaban5633]

u are speak so fast

[@megaimn]

hi there, your pronounciation or mumbling as you may want to call it is really disturbing that's a real shame since the video's content itself is very good

[@bewengelterefe3994]

was the clip really intended to help people? couldn't hear anything. what's up with your voice?

[@1979Gebo]

Hello B , He confessed to have issues with his accent , plus could be the audio system had issues when he was recording , it is really useful ...!

[@kudzainyaguse1603]

Speak loud and clearly, ITS SUPPOSED TO BE A TUTORIAL!!!!

[@EugeneOLoughlin]

Hi Kudzai, Sorry to hear that you are hang difficulties hearing and understanding me - have you tried turning up he volume on your computer? Dr E.

[@kudzainyaguse1603]

Hello Dr E, yes i tried, you were fast and it wasn't audible

[@EugeneOLoughlin]

OK - sorry my video was not helpful, I hope that you were able to find an alternative on KZbin. Thanks you for taking the time to give me feedback, Dr E.

[@kudzainyaguse1603]

Thank you Dr E

[@ramibos6549]

Awful to listen

[@yahayaibrahim5446]

Thank you so much, it is really helpful

[@moviekholi]

Are you another himesh reshmiya, why are you speaking with your nose.

[@Iljo87]

Sorry, but you speak too fast and too quiet.

[@eshalaby]

very low voice

[@lugathios926]

open your mouth while you are talkin'

[@EugeneOLoughlin]

Hi Lugat, Many thanks for your comment and I'm sorry that the video does not help you. This video was made in November 2009 on a simple desktop computer with basic audio/video tools - today's quality was not available to me then. I have since updated the video though it is now part of a Problem Solving Techniques course on Udemy (www.udemy.com/course/problemsolvingtechniques/). If you would like free access to this course, please message me here and I will send you a coupon. I can promise a definite improvement in the quality since 13 years ago 🙂. Best wishes, Dr E.
