Murphy's Law:  Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong!  

That's why your company needs mistake-proofing.

Mistake-Proofing, Poka Yoke, or error-proofing as some people call it, refers to techniques that make it impossible to make mistakes.  Mistake-Proofing techniques can drive defects out of products and processes and substantially improve quality and reliability.  

Mistake-proofing involves innovative thinking coupled with a solid understanding of forced control, shutdown, warning, and sensory alert techniques and strategies.  Mistake-Proofing is best taught through examples. Mistake-Proof It! online training includes a comprehensive background on techniques as well as the steps required to implement those techniques.  But the most valuable feature of this training course is the hundreds of examples of Mistake-Proofing included throughout the training.  

Our Mistake-Proof It!  course is based on a different model than our Error-Proofing Business Processes course designed for office and service/transaction-based environments. The office version (Error-Proofing Business Processes) focuses on error-proofing server-customer transactions to improve the experience for customers while improving the internal efficiency and effectiveness for the “serving” organization.  The manufacturing version (Mistake-Proof It!) focuses on mistake-proofing how a person-machine interaction can be made more robust, thereby eliminating recurring mistakes. (Note that we have purposely differentiated the courses by using “mistake-proofing” for the manufacturing-oriented course and “error-proofing” for the transactional course to error-proof our internal course management process.)
