Clarissa should use a Pareto diagram to identify the defects that have the most impact on the whole production process. A Pareto diagram is a bar graph that displays the occurrences or frequency of defects in descending order of importance. It helps to identify the vital few factors that contribute to the majority of defects in a process. By using a Pareto diagram, Clarissa can prioritize the defects that need immediate attention and focus on improving the most critical ones to improve the overall quality of the products.
