What Is Poka Yoke and Why It Cuts DefectsUntitledA Lean Route to Zero Defects
Poka Yoke Training in Taiwan is a one-day, non-certification skills programme that teaches you to mistake-proof products and processes so defects are prevented at source or caught the instant they occur. The term is Japanese for mistake-proofing, and the technique was developed by Shigeo Shingo within the Toyota Production System. You learn to identify error-prone process steps, analyse why human errors happen, and design prevention-type or detection-type Poka Yoke solutions using the contact, fixed-value and motion-step methods. It is a core Lean tool, applied in the Six Sigma DMAIC Improve phase and in ISO 9001:2015 defect prevention. In Taiwan, where semiconductor yield and electronics quality decide competitiveness, mistake-proofing skills are highly valued by manufacturers. The programme suits quality, manufacturing and production professionals who want practical, on-the-job capability, and is led by experienced Lean trainers at Invensis Learning.
