Poka-Yoke: Improving Product Quality
by
Preventing Defects
|
|
Author: Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun, LTD
If your goal is 100% zero defects, here is the book for you — a completely
illustrated guide to poka-yoke (mistake-proofing) for supervisors and
shop-floor workers. Many poka-yoke ideas come from line workers and are
implemented with the help of engineering staff or tooling or machine
specialists. The result is better product quality and greater participation
by workers in efforts to improve your processes, your products, and your
company as a whole.
The first section of the book uses a simple, illustrated format to summarize
many of the concepts and main features of poka-yoke. The second section
shows 240 examples of poka-yoke improvements implemented in Japanese plants.
The book:
Organizes examples according to the broad issue or problem they address.
Pinpoints how poka-yoke applies to specific devices, parts and products,
categories of improvement methods, and processes.
Provides sample improvement forms for you to sketch out your own ideas.
Use Poka-yoke in study groups as a model for your improvement efforts. It
may be your single most important step toward eliminating defects
completely. (For an industrial engineering perspective on how source
inspection and poka-yoke can work together to reduce defects to zero, see
Shigeo Shingo's Zero Quality Control.)
