    What Is Poka Yoke and Why It Matters on the Shop FloorMistake-Proofing for Everyday Quality

    Poka Yoke Training in Brazil is a practical, one-day skills programme that teaches teams how to prevent errors before they turn into defects. Poka Yoke, a Japanese term for mistake-proofing, was developed by Shigeo Shingo within the Toyota Production System (TPS) and is now a core technique across Lean, Six Sigma, ISO 9001:2015 and Total Quality Management. Over eight hands-on hours you learn to spot error-prone process steps, classify the human errors that cause defects, and design prevention-type and detection-type mistake-proofing solutions. The approach draws on Shingo's classic framework, including the contact, fixed-value and motion-step detection methods and source inspection. For quality engineers, production supervisors and continuous improvement professionals in Brazil's automotive, aerospace, electronics and food sectors, mistake-proofing is a skill employers value on the shop floor from day one. There is no exam; you finish with methods you can apply immediately and a course completion record from Invensis Learning.
