ERROR PROOFING POKA-YOKE
ZERO DEFECTS:
LEM INDUSTRIES, INC. has adopted a philosophy and
practice of producing zero defects. We incorporate the cutting edge
methods and the best manufacturing practices into our manufacturing
process.
What is Poka-Yoke? The Japanese manufacturing engineer, Shiego Shingo has
incorporated error proof techniques into a formidable tool to achieve zero
defects. Poka-Yoke stands for "mistake-proof" or "fool-proof". The idea
was very simple - to respect the intelligence of production workers. Poka-yoke
(permanent error-proof) can benefit Operators involved in repetitious
tasks that depends on vigilance, concentration and memory by
allowing them to concentrate on other value added manufacturing tasks.
Having permanent error proof in place will free operator's mind and
time. Poka-Yoke is a concept of elimination any defects (even small
number) to pass through the process to the next step.
Building 100% error proof into our manufacturing process eliminates the
needs of secondary inspection, sorting and quality checks. It reduces
cost of the final products.
