MISTAKE-PROOF IT! - COURSE INFROMATION 

(Web-Based : LAN-Based : CD-ROM)

Course Description

Over 100 mistake-proofing examples;

Traditional Poka Yoke techniques combined with innovative application tools and strategies.

What would happen if you could eliminate mistakes in your manufacturing operations? Impossible you say? Not if you implement mistake-proofing techniques. When you eliminate mistakes everything you make will be made right the first time; you will have no scrap, no rework, and no disappointed customers.

Mistake-Proof It! teaches engineers, supervisors, technicians, and operators how to develop and implement mistake-proofing techniques. In addition to extensive content, exercises, and over a hundred examples of mistake-proofing in a variety of industries, a key feature of the program is the Mistake-Proof It! Project Log. The Project Log will bring the training to life by walking learners through a series of questions and exercises to apply what they are learning to their own mistake-proofing problem. Not only will employees learn mistake-proofing techniques, but they will begin using the techniques as they are going through the training.

Mistake-Proof It! is divided into four units: Mistake-Proofing Primer, Effects of Mistake-Proofing, Implementing Mistake-Proofing Solutions, Mistake-Proofing in Action.
