    The Mistake-Proofing Skills You Will Build

    Practical Lean Capabilities for Your Workplace

    In this Poka Yoke training you will learn to identify error-prone steps, design mistake-proofing solutions, and prevent defects at source across any process. By the end of the one-day programme you can apply the full toolkit to real problems at work.

    Spot Error-Prone Process Steps

    Identify where and why errors occur using check sheets, defect data and process observation, and classify them with Shingo's error categories to prioritise the highest-impact problems.

    Prevent Errors at Source

    Apply prevention-type and detection-type Poka Yoke, using control and warning functions, so that errors are made impossible or caught the moment they happen.

    Choose the Right Detection Method

    Select contact, fixed-value or motion-step methods, and weigh low-tech versus high-tech solutions, so each device suits the error, risk and cost involved.

    Apply the Six-Step Design Process

    Move from identifying an error and its root cause, through selecting and designing a mechanism, to implementing, validating and sustaining the solution.

    Learn from Real-World Case Studies

    Study proven mistake-proofing examples from manufacturing, healthcare, service and IT so you can adapt tested patterns to your own processes.

    Build a Mistake-Proofing Culture

    Plan a Poka Yoke programme, measure its impact, and embed error-proofing into standard work, control plans and ISO 9001 quality controls.
