QUMAN

Pareto chart, histogram, Ishikawa diagram

a) Bar chart and Pareto diagram

In the bar chart we can clearly see that the most frequent problem is “nicks and scratches from rough handling”. We can see that the occurrence of this complaint is more often than the others.
On the Pareto chart we can see how the percentage of the complaints is rising. In this case the more useful way of communicating data is the bar chart as it shows what the most serious problem is for that company.

b)

Ishikawa

The Ishikawa diagram presented below shows the potential causes of the complaints. Thanks to this method the company could improve their work, as they are aware of the problems.
