Error-Proofing (Poka-Yoke) for Auditors

This course provides auditors and quality professionals with a specialized focus on the Lean concept of Error-Proofing (Poka-Yoke). Poka-Yoke is the application of devices or methods to prevent defects from occurring or to make defects immediately obvious. The training equips participants to not only identify process failures but also to assess the robustness of current error-proofing mechanisms and recommend effective, systemic controls. Attendees will learn to audit for the presence, effectiveness, and sustainability of Poka-Yoke systems, shifting the focus from detection to prevention for superior quality assurance.
