Poka Yoke



Poka Yoke

The purpose of the workshop is to provide the participant with a basic overview of the Poka Yoke System for developing a Zero Defects strategy in industrial applications. The workshop will provide an introduction to the system and its toolbox to assist the participants in the development and implementation of a Zero Defects Based Culture. It will provide a series of defined activities and applications for its use as a process. The workshop is generic in nature and is keyed for an 8-hour exploratory approach.

Note: A second day of proscribed activities is available. On the second day, the organization will identify several areas of concern that then will be developed specific to your organization, under supervision, using the Poka Yoke Strategies.
