Poke Yoke

Mistake Proofing, also known as Poka Yoke, helps to better insure a high-performing work environment where human errors and defects are not accepted. Join us for a one-day workshop that mixes classroom and hands-on activity to teach or refresh knowledge of effectively implementing the Poka Yoke methodology developed by Shigeo Shingo of Toyota. A simple simulation allows participants to experience Shingo’s methodology first-hand. This makes for an informative interesting day of training. We begin the day with understanding the 3 levels of Poka Yoke and the relationship between errors and defects. Participants are encouraged to bring a defect from work for discussion and kicking off the 5-step Poke Yoke process.
