Mistake Proofing

We have extensive experience in implementing poka-yoke systems in manufacturing environments. Our team works with your organization to identify the processes or product features that require improvement, then work with you to design and implement appropriate solutions.

Our Ujigami™ plant floor management software is designed to make Behavioral Solutions more robust and provide an easy path to implementing Technical Solutions. As shown in the Different Levels of Mistake Proofing chart below, we strive for all solutions to be in the right-hand Error Proofing: Cannot Make category.
