If your goal is 100% zero defects, here is the book for you -- a
completely illustrated guide to poka-yoke (mistake-proofing) for
supervisors and shop-floor workers. Many poka-yoke ideas come from
line workers and are implemented with the help of engineering staff
or tooling or machine specialists. The result is better product
quality and greater participation by workers in efforts to improve
your processes, your products, and your company as a whole.
The first section of the book uses a simple, illustrated format
to summarize many of the concepts and main features of poka-yoke.
The second section shows 240 examples of poka-yoke improvements
implemented in Japanese plants.
The book:
- Organizes examples according to the broad issue or problem they
address.
- Pinpoints how poka-yoke applies to specific devices, parts and
products, categories of improvement methods, and processes.
- Provides sample improvement forms for you to sketch out your
own ideas.
Use Poka-yoke in study groups as a model for your improvement
efforts. It may be your single most important step toward
eliminating defects completely. (For an industrial engineering
perspective on how source inspection and poka-yoke can work
together to reduce defects to zero, see Shigeo Shingo's Zero
Quality Control.)
