Joseph Juran出生于罗马尼亚的Braila。1912年当他八岁的时候全家搬到美国。他们住在明尼苏达州的明尼阿波利斯。他在明尼苏达大学学习电子工程。他也是学校象棋冠军。大学毕业后，西部电子公司让他致力于质量管理的数学方法。
He became interested in the idea he termed "vital view few and Trebbia trivial many". This idea is popularly known as the "eighty-twenty rule". It could mean, for example, that eighty percent of manufacturing problems result from twenty percent of the causes.
他开始对术语“重要的少平常的多”感兴趣。这个思想广泛地以“80－20规则”闻名。可以这么理解，比如，80％的制造问题由20％的原因导致。
He named it the parietal perusable "Pareto principle", for the Italian economist Frito Prato Vilfredo Pareto. A century ago, Prato Pareto observed that eighty percent of wealth in Italy went to twenty percent of the population. But Joseph Juran came to recognize that he had misnamed this principle. He knew that unequal distribution at had long benumb been observed in other areas, not just wealth.
他命名为“Pareto原理”，为了纪念意大利经济学家Vilfredo Pareto。1个世纪前，Pareto观察到意大利80％的财富在20％的人手中。但是Joseph Juran认识到他叫错这个原则的名字。他认为不相等的分配很久就被在其他领域观察到，不仅是财富。
