management attention Inventory optimization is critical in order to keep costs under control within the supply chain. Yet‚ in order to get the most from management efforts‚ it is efficient to focus on items that cost most to the business. The Pareto principle states that 80% of the overall consumption value is based on only 20% of total items.

A Pareto chart was prepared that showed the defect data when the new specifications were applied. By examining the Pareto chart‚ out-of-spec liner inside diameter was shown to be the most sensitive to the planned change in specification. The focus of the group shifted to drawing a cause-and-effect diagram‚ summarizing

Contextual norms can guide our behavioural conduct. We experience conformity when we allow other individuals to influence us‚ thus changing our behaviour and perspectives. The normative social influence theory suggests that humans feel the need to belong to groups. Over time‚ we have learnt that survival is more likely if we work together. However‚ to ensure order‚ we must share common norms and values. Due to this‚ we learn and adapt by conforming to the rules. Because of this‚ when be observe people’s
