    The Mistake-Proofing Skills You Will Build

    Six Practical Modules in One Day

    This Poka Yoke course builds practical, immediately usable skills across nine modules. By the end of the day you can identify error-prone steps, choose the right mistake-proofing device, and design solutions that prevent or detect errors before they reach the customer.

    Read the Cost of Poor Quality

    In this course you will learn why defect prevention beats detection. Quantify internal and external failure costs, apply the 1-10-100 rule, and see why 100 percent inspection alone cannot deliver zero defects.

    Analyse Human Error and Defects

    Distinguish an error from the defect it causes, understand the cognitive, physical and process factors behind mistakes, and classify errors using Shigeo Shingo's categories to target the right process steps first.

    Classify Poka Yoke Devices

    Choose between prevention-type (control) and detection-type (warning) devices, apply control and warning functions, and use the three detection methods: contact, fixed-value and motion-step, with real examples.

    Apply the Six-Step Design Process

    Work through the full Poka Yoke design process: identify the error, find the root cause with 5 Whys and fishbone analysis, select an approach, design the mechanism, then implement, validate and sustain it.

    Mistake-Proof Beyond the Factory

    Apply mistake-proofing in service, healthcare, logistics and IT through case studies, using form validation, checklists, barcode scanning and two-person authorisation to stop human error in everyday processes.

    Embed and Sustain Mistake-Proofing

    Build Poka Yoke into control plans and standard work, audit devices so they are never bypassed, measure defect reduction, and grow a company-wide zero-defect culture across your teams.

    What Our Learners Say

    From Inspecting Defects to Preventing Them

    "The training completely changed how I look at defects. Instead of adding inspection, I now design errors out. Within weeks I had mistake-proofed two assembly steps and cut our rework noticeably."

    Léa Weber

    Quality Engineer

    Practical and Hands-On Throughout

    "Shingo's error categories and the six-step design process finally gave me a structure I could use on the floor. The hands-on exercises with real examples were easily the best part of the day."

    Thomas Klein

    Process Engineer

    Lean Theory Turned into Shop-Floor Action

    "A genuinely useful day. I came in knowing Lean theory and left able to build simple, low-cost Poka Yoke devices that actually stop errors happening rather than just flagging them afterwards."

    Sophie Reuter

    Continuous Improvement Analyst

    Real Impact on Our Defect Rates

    "We ran this on site for our quality and production teams. Everyone designed mistake-proofing solutions for our own processes, and defect rates on the pilot line dropped within a quarter."

    Marc Hoffmann

    Operations Manager, Manufacturing

    A Shared Language for Quality

    "The trainer tailored every example to our environment. Our teams now share a common mistake-proofing language, which has made our improvement programme far more consistent across sites."
