  1. Form an explicit table listing the causes and their frequency of occurrence as a percentage
  2. Arrange the rows in decreasing order of importance of the causes (i.e., the most important cause first)
  3. Add a cumulative percentage column to the table, then plot the information
  4. Plot (#1) a curve with causes on x- and cumulative percentage on y-axis
  5. Plot (#2) a bar graph with causes on x- and percent frequency on y-axis
  6. Draw a horizontal dotted line at 80% from the y-axis to intersect the curve. Then draw a vertical dotted line from the point of intersection to the x-axis. The vertical dotted line separates the important causes (on the left) and trivial causes (on the right)
  7. Explicitly review the chart to ensure that causes for at least 80% of the problems are captured
