POKA YOKE (Mistake Proofing)
Mistake Proofing, Poka Yoke, or error
proofing as some people call it, refers to techniques that make it impossible to
make mistakes. Mistake-Proofing techniques can drive defects out of products
and processes and substantially improve quality and reliability.
Poka-Yoke
is fool proofing, which is the basis of the Zero Quality Control (ZQC) approach,
which is a technique for avoiding and eliminating mistakes. Generally this technique
is used in manufacturing process but has much wider uses, such as; offices - order
and invoice processing, hospitals - drug dispensing, aircraft maintenance - particularly
with processes having the potential of inducing catastrophic in-service failures.
Mistake proofing involves innovative thinking coupled with a solid understanding
of forced control, shutdown, warning, and sensory alert techniques and strategies.
Mistake Proofing is best taught through examples. Mistake-Proof It! training
includes a comprehensive background on techniques as well as the steps required
to implement those techniques. But the most valuable feature of this training
course is the hundreds of examples of Mistake-Proofing included throughout the training.
