Box-o±ce revenue dynamics are a Le ’vy stable process and are asymptotically Pareto-distributed with in¯nite variance. The mean is dominated by rare blockbuster movies that are located in the far right tail. There is no typical movie because box o±ce revenue outcomes do not converge to an average‚ they diverge over all scales

To identify the least efficient process this team created a Pareto chart. “The Pareto chart is usually thought of as a problem identification tool‚ and it is. Once used to identify the potential causes of a problem‚ it can also report the progress of the corrective efforts.” (Hamilton‚ 2002‚1). The Pareto chart revealed a problem in the manufacturing of plastic bottles used for water distribution. The team then did further analysis

evaluation schemes to ensure products are designed and produced to meet or exceed customer requirements. Any unit of production not meeting the standard is immediately eliminated. Researchers apply the Pareto principle implying that very few quality defects account for the larger quality losses. Pareto diagrams allow us to separate vital few factors that cause majority defects from the less contributing factors. Resources are then used to correct these factors and optimum quality standard is achieved
