Mistake-Proofing (Poka-Yoke)

A practical introduction to mistake-proofing for operators, technicians, team leaders, quality and process engineers, and office and service staff. Learn why errors happen and why inspection and reminders fail, then how to prevent or detect errors at the source with contact, counting and sequence devices, ranked from eliminating the error to limiting its harm. Examples come from plants, warehouses, dispensing counters, offices and software forms, with how to find where a device is needed, design and test it, and check every day that it still works.
