Using Poka-Yoke Techniques for Early Defect Detection

Poka Yoke system based on image analysis and object recognition

Poka Yoke is a method of quality management which is related to prevent faults from arising during production processes. It deals with “fail-safing” or “mistake-proofing”. The Poka-yoke concept was generated and developed by Shigeo Shingo for the Toyota Production System. Poka Yoke is used in many fields, especially in monitoring production processes. In many cases, identifying faults in a prod...

Preventive Methods in Logistics Poka-yoke and Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (fmea)

Preventive methods are seldom used in logistics, although there is increasing awareness of their potential. This paper presents two examples of preventive methods currently in use, Poka-Yoke and FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis). The implementation of Poka-Yoke, the mistake proofing methodology, has been shown to drastically reduce the enormous warranty costs, including logistics costs, w...

Some Spreadsheet Poka-Yoke

Whilst not all spreadsheet defects are structural in nature, poor layout choices can compromise spreadsheet quality. These defects may be avoided at the development stage by some simple mistake prevention and detection devices. Poka-Yoke (Japanese for Mistake Proofing), which owes its genesis to the Toyota Production System (the standard for manufacturing excellence throughout the world) offers...
