  3. Mistake Proofing Philosophy • People make mistakes. HOWEVER… freeleansite.com

  4. Mistake Proofing Philosophy • People make mistakes. HOWEVER… • Mistakes can be eliminated through the use of devices (poka-yoke) that are used to either detect or prevent defects from occurring in the first place. freeleansite.com

  5. Mistake Proofing Functions • A defect exists in one of two states: • It is about to occur → PREDICTION • It has already occurred: → DETECTION • There are basic mistake proofing functions to use against defects: 1. Shut downa machine or operation 2. Controla process or operation 3. Warnthat a defect (is about to occur or) has occurred freeleansite.com

  6. Mistake Proofing example – computer disc insertion (… because of continuous improvement obsolete today) freeleansite.com

  7. Mistake Proofing example – Computer “Start-Up” freeleansite.com

  12. Mistake Proofing Process Step 1: Identify and Describe the defect/ red flag condition Step 2: Determine root cause (where the defect is discovered or where it is made) Step 3: Detail the sequence of events in the documented standard procedure Step 4: Review the steps that differ from the standard (deviations) (identify contributing conditions or potential failure modes) Step 5: Identify the mistake-proof device type required Step 6: Create device(s) and test for effectiveness (incorporate into Standard Work) Look for the next opportunity … NOTE: use FMEA or Process Analysis techniques and 5-Why Analysis to determine root cause. freeleansite.com

  13. Top Ten causes of errors • Processing omissions: leaving out one or more process steps • Processing errors: process operation not performed according to the standard • Error in setting up: using wrong tooling or incorrect setting/ adjustment • Missing parts: not all parts are included in assembly/ process • Improper part/ item: wrong part installed in assembly • Processing wrong work piece: wrong part machined/ processed • Operations errors: incorrect revision or specification sheet • Adjustment, measurement, dimension errors: Errors in machine adjustments, testing measurements or dimensions of a component or sub-assembly • Errors in equipment, maintenance or repair: Defects caused by incorrect repairs or component replacement • Error in preparation of inspection equipment, fixtures or tools: Damaged inspection tooling; poorly designed fixtures or wrong tools; mis-measurement analyze process mistake proof incorporate standard work repeat freeleansite.com

  14. 12 “red flag” conditions (potential for error) 1.Adjustments 2. Unclear or no instructions 3. Undefined process 4. Many units/mixed units 5. Multiple steps 6. Infrequent production 7.Ineffective or lack of standards 8. Multiple handoffs 9. Hand processing 10. Rapid repetition 11. High volume demand or deadline pressures 12. Environmental conditions freeleansite.com

  15. How do we practice excellence? First, we must understand what excellence means. Excellence does not mean zero defects outside some arbitrary limits. Instead, excellence implies producing on target, thus producing product with the probability of practically zero defects. It is not the ability to ship zero defects, it is the ability to produce zero defects that counts. Installing mass inspections, tests, verifications, reviews or checks only perpetuate attitudes of mediocrity. We must stop using the word ‘acceptable’ if we want to grow our businesses profitably. Today, excellence survives and acceptable dies.

  16. In your Business System / Operational Process, brainstorm some ideas … Where would your team insert some Poka-Yoke(s)? What kinds of problems (mistake) would it prevent? What ‘hurdles’ might you encounter? Application
