PAFnow Pareto¶

With PAFnow Pareto you can evaluate your process performance at one glance. You can easily see, if 80 percent of your results are reached with 20 percent of your effort. In terms of your process performance, this means that 20 percent of your variants should cover 80 percent of your cases for your performance to be classified as good. With Pareto you can see if the Pareto principle is met by your system and how much you deviate from the 80:20 ratio. As the Pareto Visual refers to process variants, you can find it on the Variants Report Page.

This is the icon of the PAFnow Pareto in the Visualizations pane:

How to get started¶

To evaluate your process performance at one glance with Pareto, you first have to drag the required fields into the respective buckets.

How to use¶

Once you have selected the necessary fields for the PAFnow Pareto, you can start to evaluate your process performance.

Outer Ring¶

The outer ring of the PAFnow Pareto indicates the 80 percent ratio and thus refers to the number of cases. Colored in green is the proportion of cases that are covered by 20 percent of the variants. Colored in red is the remaining portion that is still needed to reach 80 percent.

Inner Ring¶

The inner ring of the PAFnow Pareto shows the 20 percent ratio based on variants. The variants are sorted based on the number of cases they cover, in descending order. The first variant, here with the ID 1, takes up the biggest part of the ring because it covers a total of 50 cases.

Inner Circle¶

The top number in the inner circle indicates the percentage share of variants, covering the threshold value of 80 percent of cases. The bottom number indicates the exact percentage of cases covered by the variants listed above (and can thus be higher than 80 percent).

Tooltip¶

When you hover-over a part of the inner circle, the respective variant, its ID, and the number of cases are displayed.

Selection¶

Inner Ring Selection¶

You can click on the inner circle of the Pareto Visual to select the correspondending variants. In this example you would select VariantId 1,2,4.

Outer Ring Selection¶

When you click on the green part of the outer circle, you would select the 20% of the VariantIds, e.g., VariantId 1-6, covering the 80% of the cases. When you click the red part of the outer circle, the missing VariantIds, which would be needed to cover 80% of the Cases, e.g., VariantId 7, are selected.

Specification¶

Required Fields¶

In order to use the Pareto, you have to drag the required fields into the respective buckets.
