Poka-yoke is a Japanese term that means "mistake-proofing". It is a lean tool that aims to eliminate errors and defects by designing processes or products in such a way that mistakes are either prevented or detected and corrected immediately. Poka-yoke can be applied in various ways, such as using sensors, guides, checklists, alarms, or color-coding, to ensure that the process or product meets the quality standards and customer expectations. One of the benefits of integrating poka-yoke into the production process is that it can be used to prevent defects, which can result in lower costs, higher customer satisfaction, and improved productivity. By avoiding defects, poka-yoke can also reduce waste, rework, inspection, and warranty claims, as well as enhance safety and reliability.
