Course Description

The best way to prevent defects is to examine the process, determine what condition led to the defect, and then control that condition. Mistake-Proofing devices, also known as poka-yoke, inspect for errors or defective operating conditions. They are low-cost devices that can be developed right on the shop floor by production associates and allow you to achieve zero defects while eliminating the need for after-the-fact quality inspection. This workshop will demonstrate methods you can use to avoid and control defects in your own operations.

Who Should Attend

Operations Managers, Lean and Continuous Improvement Managers, Production Managers, Maintenance Managers, Green and Black Belts, Supervisors or anyone responsible for building and maintaining a continuous improvement program and culture in their organization.

Participants Will Learn

• Prevent defects at their source
• Identify “red flag” conditions that commonly cause errors
• Reduce inspection costs by effecting low-cost 100% in-process inspection
• Eliminate waste and rework
