Design of Experiments (DOE)

HW#6 Poka-Yoke

This is an individual HW. You are asked to identify a defect or a problem suitable for Poka-Yoke. It could be something at home or at work. Create a 1-2 min YouTube video documenting your HW.

Step 1: Describe the scenario of your defect or problem. Describe the defect (or potential defect).

Step 2: Determine where the defect is discovered or where it is made.

Step 3: Detail the sequence of events in the documented standard. Also, identify a list of consequences that the defect/problem can cause

Step 4: Observe the process and detail the steps that differ from the standard.

Step 5: Identify contributing conditions (tools, training, etc). Refer to step 4 observations; ask the 5 ‘whys’ to determine root cause.

Step 6: Identify the mistake-proof device necessary to prevent the defect. Show the team the Poka-Yoke hints and examples of poka-yoke devices.

Step 7: Add the device to the process. Write your conclusions
