    "Training a cross-functional group together was the right call. Everyone left with a shared error-proofing language, and it now feeds into our standard work and ISO 9001 audits. Strong, practical trainer with real shop-floor examples."

    Frequently Asked QuestionsHere's everything you may ask...

    Poka Yoke training is a one-day, practical course in mistake-proofing, the Lean technique for designing processes so errors are prevented at source or caught immediately. It suits quality and process engineers, production supervisors, Lean practitioners, Six Sigma belt holders and anyone responsible for defect prevention.

    General

    What is Poka Yoke training and who is it for?

    Poka Yoke training is a one-day, practical course in mistake-proofing, the Lean technique for designing processes so errors are prevented at source or caught immediately. It suits quality and process engineers, production supervisors, Lean practitioners, Six Sigma belt holders and anyone responsible for defect prevention.

    Is Poka Yoke worth it for professionals in Sweden?

    Yes. Mistake-proofing skill is valued across Sweden's automotive, industrial, life sciences and green-industry employers, where preventing defects at source lowers cost and protects quality. It is a practical, immediately applicable capability rather than a theory-only qualification.

    Where does Poka Yoke come from?

    Poka Yoke, Japanese for mistake-proofing, was developed by Shigeo Shingo within the Toyota Production System and formalised in his 1986 book, Zero Quality Control: Source Inspection and the Poka-Yoke System. It remains a core tool in Lean, Six Sigma and ISO 9001:2015 quality practice.

    Do I need prior experience to take the course?

    No. There are no formal prerequisites. Some familiarity with quality concepts such as defects, rework and inspection helps, but the course introduces every Poka Yoke principle from first principles, so beginners and experienced practitioners both benefit.

    How long is the training and how is it delivered?

    The programme runs for one day (about 8 hours) and covers Poka Yoke foundations, human error, classification, the design process, case studies and implementation, with hands-on exercises throughout. It is available in live online, classroom and corporate formats.

    Pricing

    How much does Poka Yoke training cost in Sweden?

    Fees vary by delivery mode, group size and whether the training is public or corporate, so pricing is available on request. Contact a learning advisor for a quote tailored to your format and team size.

    What is included in the course fee?

    Your fee typically includes instructor-led training across all six Poka Yoke modules, hands-on error-identification and design exercises, real-world case studies, learner support and a course completion record. Request a quote for the exact inclusions for your chosen format.

    Do you offer group or corporate pricing?

    Yes. We offer corporate group training with customised schedules and volume-based pricing for quality, engineering and production teams. It is especially effective when a cross-functional team trains together. Ask about group pricing for your organisation.

    Is there any exam or certification fee?

    No. This is a non-certification skills course with no examination, so there is no separate exam or certification body fee. You pay only the training fee for your chosen format.

    What payment options are available?

    We accept major cards and bank transfer, and corporate bookings can be invoiced. Speak with a learning advisor to arrange the option that suits you or your organisation.

    Assessment

    Is there an exam for the Poka Yoke course?

    No. This is a non-certification course with no examination. Learning is reinforced through hands-on error-identification and design exercises, case studies and group discussion during the day.

    Do I receive a certificate after the training?

    You receive a course completion record from Invensis Learning on finishing the programme. No formal certification is awarded by an external body, because Poka Yoke is a technique rather than a certified credential; the value is the practical skill you gain.

    How is my learning assessed during the course?

    There is no formal assessment. Instead, you apply the techniques throughout the day in error-identification and Poka Yoke design exercises based on realistic process scenarios, so you practise the method as you learn it.

    Will I be able to apply Poka Yoke straight away?

    Yes. By the end you can identify error-prone steps, classify errors, select a prevention or detection method, run the six-step design process, and validate solutions, all of which apply directly to your own processes the next day.

    Does this course lead to a Lean or Six Sigma qualification?

    Not directly, but Poka Yoke is a key Lean tool used in the Six Sigma Improve phase, so it complements 7 QC Tools, Value Stream Mapping, FMEA and Lean Six Sigma belt training. It is a strong foundation if you plan to pursue those next.

    Course Content

    What topics does the Poka Yoke course cover?

    The course covers six modules: Poka Yoke foundations and the cost of defects, human error and error types, Poka Yoke classification, the six-step design process, real case studies, and implementing mistake-proofing in your organisation.

    What Poka Yoke methods will I learn?

    You learn prevention-type and detection-type mistake-proofing, control and warning functions, and the three detection methods, contact, fixed-value and motion-step, plus source inspection, self-check and successive check, and both low-tech and sensor-based solutions.

    Is the course only for manufacturing?

    No. While Poka Yoke started in manufacturing, the course uses case studies from healthcare, service, banking and IT. The principles apply anywhere human error or process defects create quality, safety or compliance problems.

    Are there hands-on exercises?

    Yes. Hands-on error-identification and Poka Yoke design exercises run throughout the day, so you practise finding error-prone steps, analysing root cause and designing solutions on realistic scenarios rather than only hearing theory.

    How does Poka Yoke fit with ISO 9001?

    Poka Yoke supports the risk-based thinking and nonconformity prevention in ISO 9001:2015, including Clause 10.2. The course shows how to embed mistake-proofing into standard work, control plans and internal audits so prevention becomes part of your quality system.
