Poka yoke techniques used in manufacturing process

Description:

The image is a PowerPoint slide titled "Poka-Yoke Techniques Used in Manufacturing Process," which describes a quality assurance methodology used to prevent and detect errors in the manufacturing process. Poka-Yoke, Japanese for "mistake-proofing," involves techniques that help to avoid mistakes before they occur (prevention) and techniques that catch mistakes after they occur (detection).

The slide has three key sections, each representing a different Poka-Yoke technique:

1. Shutdown:

Prevention: "When a mistake is about to be made."

Detection: "When a mistake or defect has been made."

2. Control:

Prevention: "Errors are impossible."

Detection: "Defective items cannot move on to the next step."

3. Warning:

Prevention: "That something is about to go wrong."

Detection: "Immediately when something does go wrong."

Each section has placeholders for additional text, indicating where further details can be added. The note at the bottom emphasizes that the slide is fully editable and can be adapted to the specific context of the presentation.
