Poka-Yoke is a lean manufacturing technique that helps in preventing errors and defects from arising in the first place. It can be applied to any manufacturing environment and produces significant improvements in the efficiency of the system. It recognizes that in any production process it is natural for people to make mistakes and possibilities of machines to deviate from the standard. It works on the principle that the mistake or error should not arise in the system or it should be made obvious immediately as it occurs so that necessary actions can be taken in time to safeguard the efficiency of the system. This paper highlights the important features of the Poka-Yoke technique that may help the authors to use the concept more efficiently in their case studies.
