Study Notes
Control Phase: Mistake Proofing (Poka-Yoke)
- Mistake Proofing is a cost-effective and reliable control method to ensure key Xs remain at optimal project-defined settings.
- It can also be used directly on the Y.
- Mistake Proofing:
- Prevents error occurrence
- Prevents defect occurrence
- Ensures effective action if defects occur
- Requires little or no formal training
- Is cost-effective and easy to implement
- The Japanese phrase "Poka-Yoke" means "to avoid" (Yokeru) and "errors" (Poka).
Importance of Mistake Proofing
- Improved quality and customer satisfaction
- Prevents error occurrence
- Prevents defect occurrence
- Ensures effective action if defects occur
Implementation Road Map for Mistake Proofing
- Describe the defect or potential defect, including the rate
- Apply 5 Whys analysis to error conditions to determine root causes
- Identify where the defect is likely to occur (Process Map)
- Analyze current tasks associated with the operation
- Identify error conditions contributing to the defect (FMEA)
- Verify the efficiency of the Mistake Proofing actions
Mistake Proofing Strategies
- Detect defects before they move to the next step
- Detect errors during processing
- Prevent errors from occurring
Mistake Proofing Considerations
- Don't make surplus products
- Eliminate, simplify, or combine operations
- Use one piece rather than process batch flow
- Involve everyone in error and defect prevention
- Create an environment that emphasizes quality work, promotes involvement and creativity, and strives for continuous improvement
Common Examples of Mistake Proofing
- Guide pins of different sizes
- Checklists
- Optical magnification
- Asymmetric parts
- Build error checking into control logic
- Exact part count
- Overlay templates
- Color coding (boxes, work areas, products, components)
- Spell check
- Limit switches
- Error alarms
- Counters
Mistake Proofing in Business Processes
- Mistake Proofing is the primary means of control for many business processes.
- Examples include:
- Check digits
- Pull down menus
- Check sheets
- One over One
- Required fields
