    What Is Poka Yoke Mistake-Proofing?A Practical Route to Zero Defects

    Poka Yoke Training in Libya teaches you mistake-proofing: a Japanese Lean quality technique, developed by Shigeo Shingo within the Toyota Production System (TPS), for designing processes so errors are prevented at source or caught the moment they occur. Grounded in the body of knowledge Shingo set out in his 1986 work Zero Quality Control: Source Inspection and the Poka-Yoke System, the course shows you how to eliminate defects rather than inspect for them after the fact. Across Libya's oil and gas, cement, steel and food processing operations, defects, rework and scrap carry a heavy cost. This one-day, instructor-led programme is built for quality engineers, production supervisors, Lean practitioners and process improvement professionals who want practical, on-the-job skills to reduce errors and raise quality. You will learn to identify error-prone steps, classify the errors that cause defects, and design prevention-type and detection-type mistake-proofing solutions you can apply straight away. Start building a zero-defect culture with Invensis Learning.
