Question

A Belt gathered the following defect data for a shoe production line and wanted to assemble it into a Pareto Chart. The correct order from left to right in the chart would be.....

Data: Cutting 38, Forming 17, Stitching 56, Sealing 42
A. Forming, Sealing, Cutting Stitching
B. Sealing, Stitching, Forming, Cutting
C. Stitching, Sealing, Cutting, Forming
D. Forming, Cutting, Sealing, Stitching

Answer 1

The correct order for a Pareto Chart based on the given defect data for a shoe production line, from most to least, is Stitching, Sealing, Cutting, and then Forming, which corresponds to option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking about how to assemble data into a Pareto Chart for a shoe production line defect analysis. A Pareto Chart is a type of chart that contains both bars and a line graph, where individual values are represented in descending order by bars, and the cumulative total is represented by the line. The correct order for the bars in a Pareto Chart, from left to right, should be from the highest number of defects to the lowest. In this case, the defection data is as follows: Cutting 38, Forming 17, Stitching 56, Sealing 42.

Therefore, the correct order to display on the Pareto Chart from left to right would be:

1. Stitching with 56 defects,
2. Sealing with 42 defects,
3. Cutting with 38 defects, and finally
4. Forming with 17 defects.

Answering the student's question directly, the correct order would be option C. Stitching, Sealing, Cutting, Forming.
