Which of the following tools would help a team of operators to prioritize causes of equipment failures?

A Pareto chart is a tool used to prioritize causes of equipment failures by identifying the most

significant factors in a set of data. It is based on the Pareto principle, which states that roughly 80% of

the problems are caused by 20% of the causes. By organizing data in descending order of frequency,

a Pareto chart helps teams focus on the most critical issues first, thereby facilitating effective

problem-solving and resource allocation.
