    The Mistake-Proofing Skills You Will Build

    Techniques You Can Apply on Monday

    Skills covered in Poka Yoke training span the full mistake-proofing approach, from understanding error types through to designing and sustaining solutions. By the end of the day you can identify error-prone steps and engineer defects out of your own processes.

    Poka Yoke Foundations and the Cost of Defects

    Understand the origin and philosophy of mistake-proofing, the internal and external cost of poor quality, and the 1-10-100 principle that makes prevention far cheaper than detection or field failure.

    Human Error Analysis and Error Types

    Learn why people make mistakes, the difference between an error and a defect, and how to classify errors using Shingo's categories so you can target the errors most amenable to mistake-proofing.

    Classifying Poka Yoke Mechanisms

    Distinguish prevention-type from detection-type solutions, control from warning functions, and apply the three detection methods, contact, fixed-value and motion-step, across manufacturing and service processes.

    The Six-Step Poka Yoke Design Process

    Apply a structured method to identify the error, analyse its root cause with 5 Whys and fishbone diagrams, select an approach, design the mechanism, then implement, validate and sustain it.

    Learning from Real Case Studies

    Study worked examples from automotive, electronics, healthcare, banking and software, and draw out the patterns that make even simple mistake-proofing devices dramatically reduce defect rates.

    Implementing Mistake-Proofing at Work

    Build an implementation plan, run team-based workshops, measure effectiveness, integrate devices into control plans and standard work, and grow a lasting culture of zero defects in your organisation.

    PortugalTrustpilot

    "In terms of content, all good. But poor time management. Time expected for breaks was never compliant (ie. if teacher said he was taking 10 mins break, it ended up being 20. For 50 mins break, teacher was showing up AT least 10-15 mins late...) Also, during second day I asked one question about a test and teacher seem disappointed for me to ask and gave me a whole speech of me not retaining all information while reading (after hours of exhausted training) also letting me know people who does not focus tend to have Low IQ... Also, having to spend time just waiting for teacher to end notes that I guess it should have been ready already for the lesson (at least, if the teacher is expecting for the alum to memorize and know everything at once) "
