Does your organization need a solution to prevent errors and defects from occurring?
Poka Yoke, or error-proofing, has gained popularity in recent years because organizations have discovered that defects are better off “prevented” rather than “detected.”
Shigeo Shingo is credited with creating the concept of zero defect and the techniques of Poka-Yoke, the Japanese term for error-proofing or mistake-proofing. The approach seeks to remove the causes of defects; or when this is impossible, to inspect each item in an inexpensive manner to ensure that it passes the quality threshold - with no defects.
This one day training course will help you to get started on developing and implementing an error-proofing system for your organization.
Automotive industry manufacturers: As per the IATF 16949:2016 requirements clause 10.2.4, organizations that intend to be certified to IATF 16949:2016 are required to practice error-proofing and apply error-proofing devices. Therefore, this course provides a good foundation into the understanding of the error proofing concept, and how it is applied to comply to the requirements of the standard.
