Pareto reports display items in order of contribution to overall failure. For example, if an assembly contains two components: a diode failing at a rate of 5.0 and a capacitor failing at a rate of 0.5, then the assembly’s overall failure rate is 5.5. The diode contributes 5/5.5*100 = 91%, while the capacitor contributes 0.5/5.5*100 = 9%. In a Pareto analysis, the diode is listed first and the capacitor second.

RAM Commander provides two types of textual Pareto reports. You can select a detailed report by part identifier (see Item ID Priority in Chapter 8 – Item Identifier (ID) Display Options), or a summary report by Item type. You can produce a Pareto report in graph form using Item type only.

To view a Pareto report:

1.Activate the Product Tree View.
2.Navigate to the desired level in the product tree.
3.From the Reports menu, choose Pareto; the Select type of Pareto Report dialog box opens.

Reports_Pareto_Params

4.In the Select type of Pareto dialog box, select the type of report you require.
5.Choose Prepare Report.
6.RAM Commander displays the selected Pareto analysis report.

If the selected report type is a table, after viewing the report, close it by double-clicking the window’s control button:

Reports_ParetoTable

When the Item type Graph - report is selected, the Graph View window opens.
