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

Poka Yoke Training in Romania is a practical, non-certification skills course that teaches teams to mistake-proof their products and processes, so defects are prevented at source or caught the instant they occur. Poka Yoke, Japanese for mistake-proofing, is a Lean quality technique developed by Shigeo Shingo within the Toyota Production System (TPS) and set out in his 1986 work on Zero Quality Control.

The technique remains central to Lean, Six Sigma and ISO 9001:2015 quality practice, and it is highly relevant to Romania's automotive, electronics and manufacturing employers that work to strict zero-defect and IATF 16949 expectations. The course suits quality and manufacturing engineers, production supervisors, Lean practitioners and process-improvement professionals.

Over one focused day you learn to identify error-prone steps, classify the errors behind defects, and design simple prevention and detection devices that make mistakes impossible or obvious. Start building a zero-defect culture with Invensis Learning.
