== History == In 1941, Joseph M. Juran, a Romanian-born American engineer, came across the work of Italian polymath [[Vilfredo Pareto]]. Pareto noted that approximately 80% of Italy's land was owned by 20% of the population.<ref name="auto">{{citation|title=''Translation of'' Manuale di economia politica ("Manual of political economy") |first1=Vilfredo|last1=Pareto|first2=Alfred N.|last2=Page|publisher=A.M. Kelley|year=1971|isbn=978-0-678-00881-2}}</ref><ref name="auto1"/> Juran applied the observation that 80% of an issue is caused by 20% of the causes to quality issues. Later during his career, Juran preferred to describe this as "the vital few and the useful many" to highlight that the contribution of the remaining 80% should not be discarded entirely.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2019-03-12|title=Pareto Principle (80/20 Rule) & Pareto Analysis Guide|url=https://www.juran.com/blog/a-guide-to-the-pareto-principle-80-20-rule-pareto-analysis/|access-date=2021-02-27|website=Juran|language=en-US}}</ref>
