Poka-Yoke

The popularity of some of the key tools and techniques mentioned is shown in Figure 5.10, taken from two different surveys of UK companies. The importance of FMEA, DFM and DFA is apparent, although the survey conducted in 1994 did not ask for the usage of DFM or DFA. Equally, the 1996 survey did not include Poka Yoke. The minor popularity of techniques such as QFD, DOE and Robust...

It is not one poka-yoke device, but the application of hundreds of these very simple fail-safing mechanisms that, day after day, has brought the quality miracle to industries around the world. Each one is relatively simple—something you easily could do on your own. But it is the totality, the hundreds of devices, that is almost frightening to behold. 

Of various other JIT and TQM-related concepts, poka-yoke merits special attention. In many services, due to the simultaneity of a service s creation and consumption, mistakes are readily apparent to the customer and it is not possible to carry out inspection or rework. Examples of mistakeproofing in service environments range from color coding of patients medical files to techniques for differentiating drinks with similar colors. Further discussion and examples of poka-yoke in services are provided by Schvaneveldt (1993) and Chase and Stewart (1994).

Speaking abstractly, this fifth principle gives the basic principles of Lean Management a circle structure, which means that there will always be potential waste that may be identified and eliminated by the cycling use of the presented Lean-Management principles. Moreover, several Kaizen fundamentals have been specified to identify potential improvements, such as 3 Mu Muda, concretion of seven kinds of waste Muri, overwork of employees or machines respectively and Mura, unevenness considering production processes. Moreover, 5 5 is an approach to improve workplaces continuously in five steps. Finally, Poka-yoke is a systematic detection and prevention of mistakes. 

Due to Shingo quality assurance was raised to an application-oriented level. The key elements of his theory are combined in the fail-saving poka-yoke mechanism. He claims that it is important to come as close as possible to the core of a problem and to detect strategies to avoid repletion of faults in order to improve processes without complicated analysis (Shingo 1969).

No, this is not a dance performed at wedding receptions (that is the hokey-pokey). It is another Japanese-titled lean tool, which roughly translates to failsafe. The application of this lean tool normally focuses on methods that ensure the quality of manufactured parts. If you can devise a method that will make it impossible to perform an operation incorrectly, then you have identified a poka-yoke. For instance, a simple dowel pin inserted somewhere within a part that holds a fixture, which would allow the part to be inserted in only the correct direction would be a poka-yoke. Can this method of...

As aids to this system, Shingo developed simple Poka-yoke mechanical, or physical, devices, which prevented incorrect assembly and could also indicate when parts had been incorrectly assembled. These devices, in conjunction with inspection to prevent defects occurring, constituted Zero Quality Control. 

Mistake proofing (Poka Yoke) A procedure that prevents defects or malfunction during manufacture by, for example, eliminating choices that lead to incorrect actions stop a process if an error is made prevent machine damage. 

The first two steps can be mechanized or automated. Poka-yoke method also allows a process to detect a problem and stop. Ultimately, it is about transferring hnman intelligence to machines to eradicate the problem. 

Poka Yoke Refers to making each step of production mistake liee. This is known as mistake proofing. Poka Yoke was developed by Shingo, also see SMED, and has two main steps (1) preventing the occurrence of a defect and (2) detecting the defect. The system is applied at three points in a process ...

The fourth level of quality is the level that Poka-Yoke strives for where inspection is not a separate step but rather an unnecessary step. We redesign the production process so that it will validate and eliminate quality errors.
