The rule 80/20 was discovered in the late 19th century by Vilfredo Pareto in England. The scientist came to a stunning discovery when he found the following imbalance: 20% of England 's population owned 80% of the total wealth of the country. And the fact that a minority owns most of the resources have been confirmed in-depth analysis. As it turned out, 10% of the population owned 65% of the wealth, 5% owned 50% of material resources. Most interestingly, these numbers were not random. Pareto found similar results, while he was exploring the distribution of wealth between the populations of England and other countries in different historical periods.
That is how “80/20 rule” appeared, which, even the scientist himself was unable to explain …show more content…
Scientist Joseph found audience in Japan, which listened to him. As a result, in 1953, after reading series of lectures in the country of the rising sun, Joseph Juran remained there and began working with several huge Japanese corporations. In the 1970s, he returned to his homeland, when Industrialists listened to his ideas, because Japanese manufacturing began to represent a serious competitive threat for United States. In both countries, Juran made a real industrial revolution, based on the Pareto principle.
The Pareto principle or the 80/20 rule is one of the most common ways of evaluating the effectiveness of any activity today. Its essence lies in the fact that 20% of efforts give 80% of result, and the remaining 80% effort results only 20%. Thus, selecting resources that give the greatest effect, it is possible to achieve high performance with low price. At the same time, further efforts are unnecessary and ineffective.
The Pareto principle has had a significant influence on the formation of many successful people: businessmen, inventors, Internet-investors and others. In most cases realizing this simple truth these people were able to transform our world into what it is …show more content…
In 1963, experts from IBM have noticed that about 80% of the time, their computers spend on a commission of 20% of operations. Immediately it was decided to find 20% of tasks that are used the most, and make them comfortable and functional for the user. As a result specialists managed to create machines that were faster than similar devices of their competitors.
The Pareto’s principle in trading imply: that incredibly huge business resources are spent on maintaining inefficient from point of view of profit and wage of unnecessary employees. Too much attention is paid to customers, who bring a small percentage of income. Thus, there is a logical conclusion- if you focus on the most effective areas, you can increase the profit of the company significantly.
In business, to optimize your company, you need to transform it into an efficient- more productive employees who will engage in selling the most salable products or services. It can be concluded, that not always it makes sense to aim for the 100% result. Forces and resources spent on this achievement, override possible benefits. In most cases, it is possible to use only 80%, spending little amount of money for the final
