Defects and its impact
• Defect free product is a necessity to compete in the market place. Every Customers has a right to demand 100% good product /service and every provider has an obligation to provide the same.
• Bad products hurt both reputation and bottom line (Scrap, rework, warranty….etc.,.)
• Defects have a direct impact on process yield affecting speed and flow of the product to the customer.

Poka-Yoke
• Poka-Yoke in Japanese means mistake proofing. It is the creation of devices that either makes it impossible to make mistakes or makes the mistake obvious or detect errors that have occurred.
• Mistake-Proofing techniques can drive defects out of products and processes and substantially improve quality and reliability.
• Any defect or non-conformance to CTQ can be major sources of customer dissatisfaction and hidden cost for the producer.
• A mistake or an error becomes a defect when it is undetected or prevented and makes it way to the next operation or to the customer.

Typical Errors
• Processing errors
• Missing Operation
• Inappropriate procedures
• Missing parts
• Missing information
• Wrong parts
• Damaged materials
• Tools or equipment improperly prepared or setup
• Human Errors
04/11/23 9Confidential Company Information
1. Forgetfulness: Sometimes we forget things when we are not concentrating. Example: Air line ticking agent forgets to ask for an ID
2. Errors due to misunderstanding: Sometimes we make mistakes when we jump to the wrong conclusion before we’re familiar with the situation. Example: A person not used to a car with automatic transmission steps on the brake, thinking it is the clutch.
3. Errors in identification Sometimes we incorrectly asses a situation because we view it too quickly or are too far away to see it clearly. Example: A $1 bill is mistaken for a $100 bill.

4. Errors made by amateurs Sometimes we make mistakes because of our lack of experience. Example: New worker does not know the process or is just barely familiar with it.5. Willful errors
Sometimes errors occur when we decide that we can ignore rules under certain circumstances. Example: Crossing a street against a red light because there are no cars in sight.
6. Inadvertent errors Sometimes we make mistakes inadvertently or without realizing it. Example: Someone lost in thought tries to cross the street without noticing that the light is red.

Ten Types of Human Error (Contd.)
7. Errors due to slowness Sometimes we make mistakes because our actions are slowed down by our delays in judgement. Example: A person learning to drive is slow to step on the brake.
8. Errors due to lack of standards Some errors occur when there are no suitable instructions or work standards. Example: A measurement may be left to an individual worker’s discretion.
9. Surprise errors Errors sometimes occur when equipment runs differently than expected. Example: A machine malfunction without warning.
04/11/23 12Confidential Company Information
10. Intentional errors Unfortunately, some people make mistakes deliberately, in an attempt to sabotage or commit a crime. These are least common, and should be dealt with as special cases.
Mistakes happen for many reasons, but almost all can be prevented if we take the time to identify when and why they happen and then take steps to prevent them by using mistake proofing methods.

Some Mistake-Proofing Strategies
• Make it harder to create the error
• Make it possible to reverse the error
• Make it obvious that the error has occurred
• Detect deviations from procedures or fixed values (e.g., Number of parts)
• Design:
– Design process so it tolerates the error and doesn’t result in a defect– Design process to decrease complexity
04/11/23 24Confidential Company Information
Approaches to Mistake Proofing
• Control approach
• Shuts down the process when an error occurs• High capability of achieving zero defects (ie robust design that can tolerate
variation or eliminates variation or assembly mistakes)
• Warning approach
• Signals the operator to stop the process and correct problem or check for a problem (ie are parts still ok, is oil level ok)
• Sometimes an automatic shutoff is not an option• Dials, lights, and sounds to bring attention to the problem
– Automatic email or phone to inform issues– Safety scorecard that appears when you boot your PC when on the RS network that alerts you
to the plant’s safety metrics.
04/11/23 25Confidential Company Information
Mistake Proofing Devices
• Types of mistake proofing devices within control or warning approach can be of:
– Contact type:• The contact type makes contact with every product or has a physical
shape that inhibits mistakes.– Example: Fixed diameter hole through which all products must fall and an oversize
product does not fall through and a defect is registered.
– Fixed value type:• The fixed value method is a design that makes it clear when a part is
missing or not used. – Example: “Egg tray” used for supply of parts,
– Motion step type:• The motion step type automatically ensures that the correct number of
steps have been taken. – Example: An operator is required to step on a foot pedal every assembly cycle, Check
lists, Correct sequence for switches that do not work unless the order is correct.

Everyday Examples of Mistake Proofing
• Home– Automated shut-offs on electric coffee pots– Child-Proof caps on mediations– Ground fault circuit breakers for bathrooms or outside electric
circuits
• Office– Spell check in word processing– Question prompt “Do you want to delete?” after depressing the
“Delete” button on your computer.
• Factory:– Dual palm button and light curtains on machines– Loc-out / Tag-out
• Retail:– Tamper-Proof packaging– Bar coding at checkout.
04/11/23 29Confidential Company Information
Control Approach
Automobile controls have a mistake-proofing device to insure that the key is in
the on position before allowing the driver to shift
out of park. The keys cannot be removed until
the car is in park.
Electronic door locks can have three mistake-proofing devices: • Insures that no door is left unlocked. • Doors automatically lock when the car exceeds 18 miles an hour. • Lock won't operate when door is open and the engine is running.

Areas Where Mistake Proofing Should be Considered…..
Where: worker attention is needed (manual operations) mispositioning is likely. adjustment is required. SPC is difficult to apply or ineffective. training cost and employee turnover are high. mixed model production occurs. Opportunity for customers to make mistakes
exist. field failures are extremely expensive.
04/11/23 39Confidential Company Information
Examples of Some Useful Mistake-Proofing Devices
• Guide pins, to assure that parts can only be assembled in the correct way.
• Limit switches, that sense the presence or absence of a part.
• Mistake-proofing jigs, detect defects immediately upstream of the process ensuring that only the correct part reach the process.
• Counters, that verify that the correct number of parts or steps have been taken.
• Checklist, that reminds operators to do certain actions.• Parts are designed to be robust. (i.e rounded corners to
reduce lacerations. Part standardization to reduce assembly choices, Parts purchased with gaskets pre-applied so they can not be omitted due to operator error )

Levels of Mistake-Proofing
• Level 1 (Best): Process can only be performed correctly. 100% prevention and make it impossible for errors to occur.Example:– Name plate can not be printed or Air handler can not be packed
until the unit has passed Run Test & Mass Spec. – Can not “run test” an Air handler unless the blower, Wrapper and
coil bar code matches.– Inlet and outlet of Driers are of different size preventing assembly
of driers in reverse.
• Level 2 (Better): Detect any mistake as being produced. (Ex: Auto spell checker in word processor )
• Level 3 (Good): Detect before passing to next operation. (Ex: Mass spec of coils)

Seven Step Mistake-Proofing ProcessDefineDefine::
(1)(1) Identify and describe the defect or potential defect
Measure:
(2) Document defect rates.
AnalyzeAnalyze::
(3)(3) Identify:
Where the defect is made
Where the defect is discovered
(4)(4) Detail the Sequence of events documented in the standard where the defect is made and determine the deviation from standard.
(5)(5) Determine the root cause of the defect or error condition that is contributing to the defect. (Refer to the observations in step 4 and Why (5 Whys) the error happens until the root cause is identified). Do not try to develop device yet!!!
Improve and Control:
(6)(6) Identify mistake-proof ideas / devices to prevent the error or defect.
(7)(7) Create a mistake-proof device or implement other mistake-proof solution and try-storm it.
Mistake proof the mistake proof and establish relevant control plan. Ensure that the proposed change is evaluated against “Process change management” and safety criteria.
04/11/23 44Confidential Company Information
Mistake-Proofing
• Post-It notes or cards of different colors can be used for this purpose.
• Example:– White Post-it can be used to record each element of the operation
where the defect is made in Step 4– Yellow Post-it to record specific errors, deviation from sequence
or other possible causes of the defect– Blue Post-it to record ideas for defect prevention that could lead to
mistake-proof devices.
Error and idea writing guidelines
1. Write only one element, cause or idea per note or card2. Be specific and concrete3. Use a full sentence – not a phrase or word4. Write so that other can read
04/11/23 45Confidential Company Information
Safety, Quality and Productivity
• When arriving at Mistake proofing solution, it is essential to carefully review impact of the proposed solution on Safety, Quality and Productivity (Ex: Process change management criteria) in addition to ease of implementation, effectiveness of the device and cost-benefit impact.
04/11/23 46Confidential Company Information
Team Work (Proposal 1)
• Each team identify a process from your work area that is producing defects or has an opportunity for mistake.
• Teams will develop a mistake proof solution based on 7 steps of mistake proofing (Use the concepts of Poka Yoke strategies, approaches and devices).
• Use the Post-it note method to run the exercise
• Recommend an optimum mistake proofing solution based on effectiveness, cost-benefit and ease of implementation.

Mistake Proofing Example
1. Define and describe the defect: Wrong compressor 2. Measure: (Defect or Incident rate)Current defect rate at final inspection = 2.5%
3. Location at which Defect is:Discovered Final Inspection
Produced Station 14. Detail the process steps at which defect is made:
5. Analyze: (Investigate and analyze root causes for error)Factor
Method Not verifying the compressor
6. Improve (Ideas to eliminate or detect early)Levels of Mistake Proofing: Level 1: 100% Prevention Level 2: Level 3: Detect before pass to next operation
Cause Level Cost(<1 wk, 1-4wk, 4-12 wk, 12-24 wk)
Not verifying the compressor - Auto verify unit model &compressor Level 2 Medium $500- Unit will not be moved to the next station without postively verifying compressor.
7. Create Mistake Proof device:Current conditon:
Mistake proof device:
Product: Impack Process: Assembly
Mistake Proofing IdeaDetect as being produced
Implementation Difficulty
Read the compressor model number from the computer screen - Obtain compressor - Assemble on to the base pan - Move unit to next station
Factor CauseCause
EXAMPLE OF MISTAKE PROOFING WORK SHEET
Operator picks the compressor by reading the model number off the label and places it on the basepan.(The model number is shown by the computer) - Exclusively human verification
Scanner with system (soft) and conveyor (hard) lock. Operator scans lay-in card and compressor bar code. System does auto-verification validating right compressor for the unit and accepts only valid compressor bar code. If there is a wrong compressor bar code scanned, the system will not allow operator to initiative lay-in of the next unit. Further, it will lock the conveyor gate thus not allowing operator to release the unit to the next station.
