Yes. The programme is hands-on, with error-identification and Poka Yoke design exercises plus real case studies from automotive, electronics, healthcare, aviation, banking and software, so you see mistake-proofing applied across many sectors.

Is Poka Yoke only for manufacturing?

No. While Poka Yoke began in manufacturing, its principles apply to healthcare, logistics, food and beverage, financial services and IT. The course shows examples such as web-form validation, surgical checklists and barcode systems alongside factory solutions.

What materials and support are provided?

You receive structured courseware covering all six modules, worked case studies, hands-on exercise templates and post-training email support. Corporate sessions can be tailored to your own processes so teams design real mistake-proofing solutions.
