What is Mistake Proofing and how will it help my workplace?

Poka Yoke is the Japanese name for Mistake Proofing. Mistake proofing ensures that any chance of error is eliminated by way of process or product design.
Mistake proofed processes eliminate costly investments in detecting potential quality problems by eliminating the chance of error entirely, instead of implementing costly checks and tests after the error may have occurred.

This technique teaches your teams how to:

• Identify potential risks within your process
• Implement system that will mistake proof your process from costly quality errors
• Develop a clear understanding of the optimum way to complete tasks
• Make processes more transparent
• Reduce processing effort
• Improve Quality
• Eliminate Quality risk
  

Vative Mistake Proofing:

• Only useful for repetitive processes
• Best results achieved when linked into product design
• Drives towards a zero defect process
