MEANING
www.benchmarksixsigma.com
It works on the principle -
"It is good to do it right the first
time. It is even better to make it
impossible to do it wrong the first
time".

Mistake Proofing can be
preventive (prevent the error from
occurring) or detective (detect
the error if it happens) in nature.
It is usually implemented in one of
the following ways :
www.benchmarksixsigma.com
1. Warning: audio and visual
warning either before the error
occurs or after it has occurred.
2. Control: errors are impossible;
even if an error occurs, it is not
allowed to move to the next
step.
3. Shutdown: machine or process
shutdown when an error is about
to happen or as soon as an error
occurs.

Poka-yoke or Mistake Proofing is
about using a process or design
feature and control mechanisms
to:
Prevent defects.
Detect errors early if they are
not preventable.
Reduce the severity of the
defects.
www.benchmarksixsigma.com
If not preventable, it is advisable
to detect errors/defects as early
as possible because the later they
are found, the more expensive
they become, i.e., costs
associated with them increase
more materials, labour, overhead,
and time.

While implementing poka-yoke
designs, one must ensure that
implementation does not open
new problems that may cause
defects.
