I'd like to improve our corrective / preventive action systems by placing the emphasis on error proofing.

Can anyobody suggest source material or links to information on some practical examples of poka-yoke. I'm trying to develop a brief presentation to explain the topic to a group of process engineers in order that they can think more about preventing problems rather than relying on inspection systems to weed them out.

don,
I've got a book of examples sitting in my bookcase.
If you give me the address I'll lend it to you.

Regards

Brian

Look for Poka_yoke_B.pdf at http://Elsmar.com/pdf_files/

Thanks Marc, I've already downloaded this file and can strongly recommend it to anybody who's interested in this topic.
I'm just looking to supplement it with some "real life" examples.
