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.).

Unique coverage of manufacturing management techniques--complete with cases and real-world examples.

Improving Production with Lean Thinking picks up where other references on production processes leave off. It is increasingly important to integrate and systematize lean thinking throughout production/manufacturing and the supply chain because the market is becoming more competitive, products are becoming more complex, and product life is getting shorter and shorter. With a practical focus, this book encompasses the science and analytical background for improving manufacturing, control, and design. It covers specific methodologies and tools for:
* Material flow and facilities layout, including a six step layout design process
* The design of cellular layouts
* Analyzing and improving equipment efficiency, including Poka-Yoke, motion study, maintenance, SMED, and more
* Environmental improvements, including 5S implementation


With real-life case studies of successful European and American approaches to lean manufacturing, this reference is ideal for engineers, managers, and researchers in manufacturing and production facilities as well as students. It bridges the gap between production/manufacturing and supply chain techniques and provides a detailed roadmap to improved factory performance..

Authors Ronald and Candace-Lynn Buckley describe a step-by-step process for Mistake Proofing the entire business, including the factory (manufacturing) and the office (backroom), that can be used to create a very efficient error-free organization, able to compete with the best of companies globally. To illustrate this process, the authors draw on their experience and share their real life challenges in describing situations that everyone can relate to, find relevant, interesting and useful. They explore in detail vital topics necessary for developing and executing an effective Mistake Proofing program, such as: Establishing a training program, including a detailed layout of the training methods the authors have used successfully over the years. Understanding process errors, the cost of errors, the levels of Mistake Proofing, and the tools and methods used to Mistake Proof your business. The use of problem-solving tools in eliminating errors from your organization. Driving the process with Cross-Functional Self-Directed Teams, to successfully execute your Mistake Proofing program. In these Teams, employees from many different areas of the business work together to eliminate mistakes and errors from the business while at the same time improving their own self-confidence and job satisfaction.
