Poka-Yoke is a Japanese mistake-proofing technique developed in the early 1960's by Dr. Shigeo Shingo. Poka-Yoke is a commonsense approach to defect elimination. Traditional quality systems detect defects after they occur. An operator makes an error which becomes a defect. At some point after the defect happens an inspection occurs and the defect is detected. Subsequently, people are notified of the defect and corrective action (scrap or rework) is initiated.
Poka-Yoke and Process Improvement are important and effective. This training module is dedicated to providing the tools required in order to understand all the options for improvements. It will make your activity more productive. As a result, your operation will become more competitive.
We believe that implementation of Poka-Yoke and Process Improvement are timely and a very good opportunity to improve everybody's quality of life. The application of Poka-Yoke techniques are so versatile that you can use them in your manufacturing plant, little shop, fast food business, your office, charity, kitchen or garage. Anything you do, can be improved.
The History of Mistake-Proofing (Poka-Yoke)
Mistake-proofing was developed in 1961 by Dr. Shigeo Shingo, the late Japanese quality guru. At that time, Shingo was visiting an electrical parts factory in Japan. The tour was conducted by a plant manager. Shingo and the plant manager were observing a woman assembling switches. Her job was to insert two springs into the switch box. This kind of routine, repetitive procedure lends itself to inadvertent errors. In fact, as they watched, the worker assembled a switch with only one spring. Seeing this, the manager yelled at the woman asking her how she could be so careless. Dr. Shingo reprimanded the manager, informing him inadvertent errors were a part of the human condition.
Dr. Shingo left and returned from the plant cafeteria with a rice bowl. He told the worker from now on the first operation in the switch assembly process would be to take two springs from the box and place them in the rice bowl. Before she passed the switch to the next production associate she should look at the bowl. Then there would never be any doubt that the switch contained the correct number of springs. That troublesome step in the process of switch assembly was mistake-proofed. In the following years, Shingo refined the concept of mistake-proofing and introduced the idea of zero quality control.
Poka-Yoke may be the single best method to eliminate or substantially reduce defects. Originally designed for use in manufacturing, it has enormous potential for government and service industries as well. It is a simple, straight forward concept which prevents errors from becoming defects using inexpensive devices to mistake-proof the process.

"Your training modules are the easiest and fastest way to understand the practicalities of business processes that I have seen in many years of measurement consulting activity. I intend to use them in my practice, if you are agreeable, since I am now extending into new consulting areas."

Below is an example of one the 76-PowerPoint slides
with its relevant note page:
Without data, you’re just another opinion. That says it all. To continuously improve our processes, we need to first learn how to capture and then apply statistical data to our situation analysis. This action is a primary requisite to effective problem solving. Slide 3-3 presents an overview of a measurement by facts system.
Lesson Learned: The more that people use real time data to perform situation analysis and to establish and track corrective actions, the more comfortable and effective they become at interpreting and applying data-on-the-run. It is my contention that exceptional leaders make quick and quality decisions because they have mastered the skill of interpreting data-on-the-run. When a leader says, “That doesn’t sound right to me. What about .. . . .?” He has put to use, what I call, the test of reasonableness and this ability separates the exceptional leaders from the pack. To develop the ability to apply the “test of reasonableness,” a leader must first become an expert at interpreting data-on-the-run.
