Abstract

The concept of zero defects is remarkable for its simplicity and directness. One of the concepts of zero defects is poka-yoke, which means & “mistake-proofing”. Its purpose is to eliminate product defects by preventing, correcting, or drawing attention to human errors as they occur. The primary goal of this paper is to focus on the improvement of the quality issue in production processes by identifying and implementing poka-yoke concept to improve the defects. Shigeo Shingo was the Japanese engineer who developed the concept of Poka-Yoke that transformed the quality profession in Japan. The main objectives of the study are overall improvement of productivity of the machine output, reduction in human errors and improvement in the safety of the workforce. The main aspect in any manufacturing industry generally is to increase the customer expectation is eliminating the defects and reducing the variances. The defects must be defined properly to ensure the root causes will be eliminating once the process improvement has been identified.
