    What Is Poka Yoke Training and Why It MattersA Practical Route to Mistake-Proofing

    Poka Yoke Training in Brunei is a hands-on, one-day skills programme that shows quality, production and engineering teams how to prevent errors at source and stop defects before they reach the customer. Poka Yoke, also known as mistake proofing or error proofing, is a Japanese technique developed by Shigeo Shingo within the Toyota Production System and set out in his 1986 work, Zero Quality Control. The course grounds you in the wider Lean and quality landscape, showing how mistake-proofing supports the Six Sigma Improve phase, FMEA and ISO 9001:2015 defect-prevention thinking. You learn to classify errors, choose prevention or detection controls, and design simple mechanisms that hold on the shop floor. Across Brunei's oil and gas, petrochemical, halal food and fertiliser plants, error-proofing is a practical, in-demand capability. Build it with Invensis Learning and start preventing defects from day one.

    This programme builds a practical, end-to-end mistake-proofing capability. By the end of the day you can find error-prone steps, choose the right control, design a simple solution, and sustain it in your own processes.

    Spot Error-Prone Steps in Any Process

    Skills covered in this Poka Yoke course begin with reading a process to find where errors are most likely, using check sheets, defect logs and direct observation to prioritise the highest-impact and highest-frequency error points.

    Classify Human Errors and Their Causes

    Learn why people make mistakes, the difference between an error and a defect, and how to use Shingo's error categories to target the causes that mistake-proofing can actually address, from cognitive slips to poor process design.

    Choose Prevention or Detection Controls

    Decide between prevention-type controls that make an error impossible and detection-type controls that flag it at once, and know when a control function or a lighter warning function is the right fit for the risk.

    Apply the Three Detection Methods

    Put the contact, fixed-value and motion-step methods to work with real examples, from shape and colour guides to part counting and sequence checks, in both manufacturing and service settings.

    Run the Six-Step Design Process
