Program Benefits:

Mistake Blocker uses the power of mistake-proofing (poka-yoke) to completely control mistakes that can not be eliminated through the simplification of products and processes. Easy to learn and use, this is the first mistake-proofing methodology. Although most organizations are beginning to understand the importance of mistake-proofing, they have difficulty making substantive changes because novices at mistake proofing cannot find relevant examples and they do not recognize the mistake-proofing principles that could apply to their specific problems. Using a catalog of hundreds of examples, associates are able to quickly identify mistake-proofing principles and develop mistake-proofing concepts like the experts. Your entire product design and production team will benefit from:

  • Anticipating and preventing mistakes before they occur

  • Rapid and efficient generation of mistake-proofing concepts

  • More effective mistake-proofing solutions

  • Faster mistake-proofing deployment

  • Improved product quality

  • More efficient production as waste is eliminated

  • More loyal customers

Program Description:
Mistake-proofing begins during the course as associates apply the techniques they have learned to their own products and processes. After learning of the frequency, consequences, and attributes of mistakes, associates will be able to prioritize mistake-proofing opportunities. Associates also learn a simple mistake taxonomy that helps them classify observed or anticipated mistakes. This taxonomy helps the associates quickly find relevant examples and associated mistake-proofing principles using a catalog of over 200 examples. Lacking experience, novices typically have difficulty developing sound mistake-proofing concepts. Assured Quality is the only organization in the world overcomes these problems by providing easy access to they right kinds of solutions, helping novices develop mistake-proofing concepts like the experts. After generating a variety of mistake-proofing concepts, associates will be able to quickly compare and select the most effective concept using the mistake-proofing effectiveness matrix. Many of the concepts will be so simple that they can be implemented within days, having immediate impacts on the production floor.
