Be careful here. Most of the problem solving methods stated below are all good tools but they were or are techniques recommended for continuous improvement in QS-9000. QS requires disciplined problem solving methods. Books have been written about the subject. TOPS (Team Oriented Problem Solving), by Ford, utilizing the 8D is one, Kepner-Tregoe is another methodology.
For mistake proofing, to put it simply, just think of what you could do to ensure that someone will do a job correctly, even if they are half-asleep. e.g. square peg and round holes, 100% automated checks after the manual operation, color-coding, etc. Use of lock out/tag out is really mistake-proofing for safety.
