4. WHAT IS MANAGEMENT
Management is the process of achieving organizational objectives
through the efficient use of organizational resources.
Management is the process of taking work from people in
structured situations/ organizations.
Management is the process of creating conditions in
organizations which allow people to achieve their full potential
while they engage in economic activity.
An effective management system is the structure that defines an
organizations goals, policies and procedures and the processes
by which they are maintained and improved. It requires
documented processes, clear cut responsibilities, on going
training, internal checks for compliance, a way to correct non-
compliances, management reviews and continued improvement.
The critical aspect of a management system is that all elements
work cohesively towards the stated objectives.

9. What Does Kaizen Mean?
KAI ZEN
To modify, to change + Think, make good,
make better
= KAIZEN
Make it easier by studying it, and
making the improvement through
elimination of waste.
10. KAIZEN....?
Kaizen means ”small & continuos
improvement".
Kaizen strategy calls for never-ending efforts
for improvement.
Involving everyone in the organization -
managers and workers alike.
11. CONTINOUS IMPROVEMENT
Continuous Improvement means ongoing
improvement involving everyone, including
both management and workers.
This philosophy assume that our way of life
- be it our working life or our home life
deserves to be constantly improved.
12. OBJECTIVES OF CONTINOUS IMPROVEMENT
To promote job involvement.
To improve communication.
To enhance awareness of quality.
To improve level of productivity - Saving in material,
time, energy.
To reduce error / mistakes (Reworks).
To develop personnel & leadership skills - by
working as a team.
To improve safety.
To promote preventive culture.
13. JAPANAESE MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES – KAIZEN
STRATEGY
“Aim is to start omitting less significant portions of
work.”
It is a positive , constructive way of omission that
allocates surplus time and energy to important tasks
that can never be neglected.
Kaizen is the Lifeblood of Lean Production System.
In Japanese system , all jobs are being continually
improved..
With standardised work , there is a Base line from
which to identify problems more easily . It is the first
step for Kaizen.
14. JAPANAESE MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES - KAIZEN
KAI – Change.
ZEN - Better.
“ Change for betterment / improvement.”
Continuous search for Better way.
Step by step - small and concentrated steps.
Process oriented thinking.
Huge Finances are not required for these changes.
Ask “ Why “ five times and seek root causes.
Improvement is one time activity – Kaizen is
Continuous.
Participation of all concerned.
16. JAPANAESE MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES – KAIZEN AS
DEMING’S CYCLE
P-D-C-A CYCLE
PLAN - Analysis
DO – Try Counter measures
CHECK – Confirm results
ACT - Standardization
17. JAPANAESE MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES – T Q M
“Total Quality Management is the integration
of all functions and Processes within an
organization in order to achieve continuous
improvement of quality of goods & services.”
It can also be summarized as the continual
meeting of agreed customer requirements at
lowest cost by realizing the potential of all
employees.
18. MAJOR COMPONENTS OF KAIZEN
Kaizen and Management
Management has two major components:
o Maintenance.
o Improvement.
The objective of the maintenance function is
to maintain current technological, managerial,
and operating standards.
The improvement function is aimed at
improving current standards.
19. MAINTENANCE
Under the Maintenance function, the
management must first establish
policies, rules, directives and standard
operating procedures (SOPs) and then
work towards ensuring that everybody
follows SOP.
The latter is achieved through a
combination of discipline and human
resource development measures.
20. IMPROVEMENT
Under the Improvement function, management
works continuously towards revising the current
standards, once they have been mastered, and
establishing higher ones.
Improvement can be broken down between
innovation and Kaizen. Innovation involves a
drastic improvement in the existing process and
requires large investments.
Kaizen signifies small improvements as a result of
coordinated continuous efforts by all employees .
21.
22. STARTING POINT
• Not a single day should go by without some kind of improvement
being made somewhere in the company.
• Customer-driven strategy for improvement - any management activity
should eventually lead to increased customer satisfaction.
• Quality first, not profit first - an enterprise can prosper only if
customers who purchase its products or services are satisfied.
• Problem solving is seen as cross-functional systemic and
collaborative approach .
• Emphasis on process - establishing a way of thinking oriented at
improving processes, and a management system that supports and
acknowledges people's process-oriented efforts for improvement.
23. MINDSET & CULTURE
• Customer orientation
• Quality control (QC) circles
• Suggestion system
• Discipline in the workplace
• Small-group activities
• Cooperative labor-management relations
• Total quality control (TQC)
• Quality improvement
24. PROCESS ORIENTED THINKING VS RESULT ORIENTED THINKING
Kaizen concentrates at improving the process
rather than at achieving certain results.
Such managerial attitudes and process
thinking make a major difference in how an
organization masters change and achieves
improvements.
25. The Nine types of waste
• Overproduction
9
Wastes
• Delays (waiting time)
• Transportation
• Process
• Inventories
• Motions
• Defective products
• Untapped resources
• Misused resources
26. Overproduction
9 To produce more than is required *
Wastes To produce before required *
*Required by external and internal customers
27. Elimination of Wastes and Continuous Improvement
The Secret:
• Be Systematic
• Work with a versatile team
• Measure, evaluate
• Find the 5 Whys
• Follow up
• Standardize, make uniform
• Simplify
• Combine
• Prevent
• Make waste ugly

29. Visual Control & the Workstation
Ergonomics
•Adapt the workstation to the
employee
- more security
- more comfort
•Reduce waste
- excessive fatigue
- useless efforts and movement
- less physical constraints
30. SUGGESTION SYSTEM
The Suggestion System aims at involving
employees in Kaizen.
The number of worker's suggestions is an
important criteria in reviewing performance of the
supervisor and the managers.
The Japanese management encourages employees
to generate a great number of suggestions and
implement these suggestions, often incorporating
them into the overall Kaizen strategy.
Management also gives due recognition to
employee's efforts for improvement
31. FORMULA FOR CHANGE
Change = V x D x A
• V = Vision
• D = Dissatisfaction
• A = Action (quick first steps)
The degree of change is the If any factor is zero, change
result of multiplying all
factors. won’t happen
32.
33. JAPANAESE MANAGEMENT PRINCIPLES – 5 S
These are 5 basic steps involved for an efficient
work place.
It gives Safety , Neatness , Lesser Fatigue ,
Faster identification & improves quality.
The 5 Japanese words are
SEIRI,SEITON,SEISOU,SEIKETSU& SHUKAN.
Shifting , Sorting , Sweeping , Standardizing &
Supreme Attitude.
34. SEIRI
Sort
(Seiri)
Start by sorting the useful from the
unnecessary. The only things that
should remain in a work area are the
parts, tools, & instructions needed to do
the job.
35. SEITON
Set in order (Seiton)
Everything has a place; everything is in
its place.
This is also a good time for the team to
create a Visual Scoreboard, jidoka
lights, floor paint, kanbans, and other
visual controls .
36. SEISO
Sweep & Shine (Seiso)
Do an initial spring cleaning.
Maybe painting, scouring, sweeping,
washing, rinsing, scrubbing, and
whatever else is needed to make your
work place shine.
37. SEIKETSU
Standardize (Seiketsu)
In the Standardize phase of Lean 5 S, routine
cleaning becomes a way of life.
Preventative maintenance is routinely
performed, perhaps with planning and
scheduling and some responsibilities done by
central maintenance department, and as
much routine maintenance as possible
performed by the people that know that work
center better than anyone else.
38. SHITSUKE
Sustain
(Shitsuke)
Shitsuke is when five S becomes a routine
way of life. Root causes are routinely
identified and dealt with - both supervisors
and the workers should be constatntly
involved so as to appreciate the benefits of
Five S and Lean methods.
39. THE SIXTH S
Safety ( & Smile ).
Some companies have taken to calling
their program a 6S program - with the
inclusion of Safety issues.
40. WHY 5S ?
One important purpose and benefit of 5 or
6S is to make your work area clean and in
order to unhide potential problems. In an
unclean workplace, it is hard to even notice
things like "When did that machine start
making that noise?" or "When did that start
leaking oil?"
Another purpose and benefit to reduce the
amount of time wasted looking for misplaced
tools, and materials, and supplies.
41. 5 S AS STARTING POINT
Five or Six S housekeeping is a starting point
for every successful Lean process
improvement initiative.
Most Lean initiatives start out with 5S training
as one of the earliest initiatives, and there is a
flurry of enthusiastic cleaning and organizing.
The real test, however, is how well the new
ways "stick" over time. The success of 5s
program is often an excellent predictor of the
probable success of greater lean
manufacturing initiative.
42.
43. WHAT IS ISO 9000
The ISO 9000 series is a set of five individual
but related International Standard of Quality
Management and Quality Assurance.
Technical committee ISO/TC176 is
responsible for developing & updating ISO
9000 standard.
National delegation of 52 countries participate
in its work with another 15 present as
observers .
Objective of ISO 9000 is aimed primarily at
achieving customer satisfaction by preventing
non-conformity at all stages.
44. DIFFERENT ISO STANDARDS
ISO 9000 - Quality Management and Assurance
Standards - Guidelines for selection and use.
ISO 9001 - Model for Quality Assurance in Design,
Development, Production, Installation and Servicing.
ISO 9002 - Model for Quality Assurance in Production,

47. THE HEART OF SIX SIGMA
• Six Sigma Quality is achievable and desirable!
• Quality does not happen by chance or automatically
• The Customer defines quality….. VOC
• Act on fact data…. use of Statistics
• Sustained Quality is the result of building robust Processes and then
following them religiously
• Processes convert resources inputs (X’s) into desired outputs (Y’s):
Y::f(x1,x2,..xn)
• Y can be improved by improving upon the vital x’s (Y can be market share,
product, quality, production efficiency et cetera)
Measurement is the key to beginning and to making progress…. ∑ Values

• Have a great many winners in them; most of the players
poised and confident, and although they may well be
'stars' in their own right they allow others to shine in
order to a 'star team' together
• Often include winning groups and combinations which
work together so well they seem to have a six sense,
whereas in fact they have merely learned to cooperate
to make each other winners and to make a team a
winning team
• Have the winning habit and they go into every game
expecting to win
53. WINNING TEAMS MUST..
• Develop a synergy that comes from winning and
which increases not by simple progression but
exponentially: 1x1=11
• Develop both mental and physical energy to
withstand adversity
• Create a winning atmosphere - everyone
surrounding them emerges as a winner
• Make winning contagious so that new comers soon
acquire the team's magic

56. LEAN MANUFACTURING
Lean is about doing more with less: less time,
inventory, space, labor, and money.
Lean Manufacturing (also known as the Toyota
Production System) is, in its most basic form, the
systematic elimination of waste - overproduction,
waiting, transportation, inventory, motion, over-
processing, defective units - and the
implementation of the concepts of continuous flow
and customer pull
57. AREAS OF LEAN PRODUCTION
Five areas drive lean manufacturing/production:
o COST
o QUALITY
o DELIVERY
o SAFETY
o MORALE
Just as mass production is recognized as the
production system of the 20th century, Lean
production is viewed as the production system of
the 21st century.
58.
59. BENEFITS OF LEAN
Waste reduction by 80%
Production cost reduction by 50%
Manufacturing cycle times decreased by 50%
Labor reduction by 50% while maintaining or
increasing throughput
Inventory reduction by 80% while increasing customer
service levels
Capacity in current facilities increase by 50%
Higher quality
Higher profits
Higher system flexibility in reacting to changes in
requirements improved
60.
61. BASIC ELEMENTS
The basic elements are :
Waste elimination.
Continuous one piece workflow.
Customer pull.
When these elements are focused in the
areas of cost, quality and delivery, this
forms the basis for a lean production
system.
62. OVER VIEW OF SYSTEM
• Non-value added activities or waste are eliminated through
continuous improvement efforts
• Focus on continuous improvement of processes - rather
than results - of the entire value chain
• The lean manufacturing mindset: concept, way of thinking -
not techniques; culture - not the latest management tool
• Continuous product flow is achieved through physical
rearrangement and system structure & control mechanisms
• Single-piece flow / small lot production: achieved through
equipment set up time reduction; attention to machine
maintenance; and orderly, clean work place
• Pull reduction / Just-in-time inventory control
63.
64. 7 WASTES TO BE ELIMINATED
• Reduced Setup Cost and Times (for semi-versatile
machinery ) - from months to hours thus making small-lot
production economically viable; achieved by organizing
procedures, using carts, and training workers to do their
own setups,
• Small-Lot Production - allowing higher flexibility and pull
production (or just-in-time manufacturing)
• Employee Involvement and Empowerment - organizing
workers by forming teams and giving them training and
responsibility to do many specialized tasks, for
housekeeping, quality inspection, minor equipment repair
and rework; allowing also them time to meet to discuss
problems and find ways to improve the process
65. 7 WASTES.....
• Quality at the Source - total quality management (TQM) ;
assigning workers, not inspectors, the responsibility to
discover a defect and to fix it.
• Pull Production, or Just-In-Time (JIT) - quantity of work
performed at each stage of the process is dictated solely
by the demand for materials from the immediate next
stage; thus reducing waste and lead times, and
eliminating inventory holding costs
• Continuous Equipment Maintenance - as pull production
reduces inventories, equipment breakdowns must also be
reduced; thus empowered operators are assigned primary
Maintenance
66. 7 WASTES....
• Multi- Skilled Workforce - as employees are
empowered to do many jobs, they must be
provided with adequate training
• Supplier Involvement - the manufacturer treats its
supplier as a long-term partners; they often must
be trained in ways to reduce setup times,
inventories, defects, machine breakdowns, etc. in
order to enable them to take responsibility for
delivering the best possible parts/services to the
manufacturer in a timely manner.
67.

69.
70. JUST .IN .TIME
In Kaizen, JIT is a is a collection of
concepts and techniques for improving
productivity.
JIT is a process aimed at increasing
value-added and eliminating waste by
providing the environment to perfect
and simplify the processes.
71. WHAT IS PRODUCTIVITY
“Productivity is the efficient & effective
utilization of the available resources. ”
Japan Productivity Center for Socio-Economic
Development
How to Measure Productivity
Productivity = OUTPUTS / INPUTS
72. JIT COMPONENTS
Production Leveling
Pull System
Kamban (label or signboard) system

75. VALUE CHAIN
Value chain is a high-level model of
how businesses receive raw materials
as input, add value to the raw materials
through various processes, and sell
finished products to customers.
A critical pre-requisite for success in
digital economy is the implementation
of an integrated value chain that
extends across - and beyond - the
enterprise.
76. LEAN ENTERPRISE
The 'Lean Enterprise' encompasses the entire
production system, beginning with the customer,
and includes the product sales outlet, the final
assembler, product design, and all tiers of the
supply chain (to include raw material mining and
processing).
Any truly 'lean' system is highly dependent on the
demands of its customers and the reliability of its
suppliers.
No implementation of lean manufacturing can
reach its full potential without including the entire
'enterprise' in its planning.
77. STATE OF ART SUPPLY CHAIN
The entire chain is a single, integrated equity
Suppliers contracts based on mutual benefits rather
than straight cost. Supply chains are not about buying
something a bit cheaper, these are strategic decisions
The cost, quality, and delivery requirements of the
manufacturing customer are objectives shared by
every company in the chain
Inventory is the last resort for resolving supply-and-
demand imbalances between the tiers
Sharing of benefits achieved through collaboration
Measured by lead-time on class-A purchased materials
78.
79. SERVICE - PROFIT CHAIN
The service-profit chain is a powerful
phenomenon that stresses the importance of
people - both employees and customers - and
how linking them can leverage corporate
performance.
The service-profit chain is an equation that
establishes the relationship between corporate
policies, employee satisfaction, value creation,
customer loyalty, and profitability
80. ELEMENTS
A seamless integration of all components
in the service-profit chain - employee
satisfaction, value creation, customer
satisfaction, customer loyalty, and profit
and growth - links all the critical
dynamics of top customer service.
"The company guides, nurtures, and
empowers its employees, and the
employees play a vital role in securing
customer satisfaction and the benefits
that accrue from it".1
81.
82. MAIN BENEFITS OF CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
oCustomers stay with the company longer.
oCustomers deepen their relationship with
company .
oCustomers demonstrate less price
sensitivity .
oCustomers recommend company's
products or services to others .
83. How To Make Customer Service and Essential Part of
Your Corporate Culture
• Demonstrate continuously to your employees that in your
company's order of priorities, customer service comes before all
else
• Gain a real-world view of the issues in customer relationships:
empower employees to identify customers' true needs; engage
not only front-line customer service people in this continuous
research and field contact with customers but all your staff,
including CEO
• Provide for customer input to be heard simultaneously throughout
your organization, by all its key functions and departments
• Develop system for collecting customer satisfaction data and
measuring customers' perception of the value created by your
organization
• Relay information concerning customer expectations to those
responsible for value creation
84.
85. SMED is Continuous Improvement
It is a customer driven requirement. Customers are
demanding:
Product and service diversity
Lower costs
Higher reliability and quality.
In essence organizations need to become leaner !
So organizations must:
Produce smaller lots, more frequently.
Expand the scope and diversity of products and
services.
Reduce quality defects.
86. Ultimately, SMED focuses on reducing changeover and set-up
times, thus enabling organizations to:
Produce smaller lots of products and services more
frequently !
Develop a broader scope of products and services !
Reduce quality defects towards zero !
Meet Customer’s Expectations !
87. What Does Set-up/changeover
reduction mean for my business?
Increased customer service levels and
profits !
Via Waste Elimination resulting in:
Reduced Lead Times-Faster Delivery
Zero Inventories-Reduced Working Capital
Improved Quality
Smaller lots of products-flexibility
Diversified Product & Service Options
88. Why SMED ?
Look Familiar ?
•To eliminate the wastes that result from
“uncontrolled” processes increasing inventories
and
lead times..
• To gain control on equipment, material &
inventory.
• Apply Control Techniques to Eliminate Erosion of
Improvements.
• Standardize Improvements for Maintenance of
Critical Set-up Parameters.

91. 5 “Traditional”Setup Steps Defined
Preparation - Ensures that all the tools are working
properly and are in the right location.
Mounting & Extraction - Involves the removal of the tooling
after the production lot is completed and the placement of
the new tooling before the next production lot.
Establishing Control Settings - Setting all the process
control settings prior to the production run. Inclusive of
calibrations and measurements needed to make the
machine, tooling operate effectively.
First Run Capability - This includes the necessary
adjustments( re-calibrations, additional measurements)
required after the first trial pieces are produced.
Setup Improvement- The time after processing during
which the tooling, machinery is cleaned, identified, and
tested for functionality prior to storage.

110. What is a Zero Defect Quality System
(ZDQ)?
Based on a discipline that
defects are prevented.
Control the process so that
defects are impossible!
111. What is a Zero Defect Quality System
(ZDQ)?
No Finger Pointing.
Operators and Machines
will sometimes make
mistakes.
Find ways to keep errors from
becoming defects!
112. What is a Zero Defect Quality System
(ZDQ)?
A Method for Mistake-
Proofing (Poka-yoke) a
process.
ZDQ assures that
defects are not shipped!
113. How ZDQ Makes Work Easier
Mistake-Proof or Poka-yoke the process!
Recognize that it is
natural for people to make
mistakes.
114. How ZDQ Makes Work Easier
Mistake-Proof or Poka-yoke the process!
Not noticing that an error
is made or a machine is
not functioning does not
make a person stupid or
foolish.
115. How Do We Achieve ZDQ ?
Mistake-Proof or Poka-yoke the process!
Errors never become defects!
No finger pointing after
the fact. No mandate to
do better next time.

117. Relationship between processes and quality defects.
•Almost any business activity can be considered a process.
•Production processes involve the flow of material. Machining,
assembly, and packaging are typical production processes.
•Business processes involve the flow of information. Financial
planning, purchasing & order entry are typical business
processes.
•All processes have the potential for defects. Hence, all
processes offer a opportunity for the elimination of defects and
the resultant quality improvement.
118. In order to reduce quality defects and stop
throwing away money, we must
=
Understand the process an its relationship to other
business processes.
Identify the inputs and outputs of the process.
Know who are the suppliers to and customers of the
process.
And
Reduce the
variation of the process
119. What Causes Defects?
Process Variation From
1. Poor procedures or standards.
2. Machines.
3. Non-conforming material.
4. Worn tooling.
5. Human Mistakes.
Except for human mistakes these conditions can
be predicted and corrective action can be
implemented to eliminate the cause of defects
120. What Causes Defects?
Human Mistakes
Simple errors-the most common cause of defects-occur
unpredictably.
The goal of ZDQ is zero! Make certain
that the required conditions are in place
and controlled to make acceptable
product 100% of the time.
121. Ten Types of Human Mistakes
Forgetfulness
Misunderstanding
Wrong identification
Lack of experience
Willful (ignoring rules or procedure)
Inadvertent or sloppiness
Slowliness
Lack of standardization
Surprise (unexpected machine operation, etc.)
Intentional (sabotage)

123. The 4 Components of ZDQ
ZDQ functions by combining four elementary
components:
1. Point of Origin Inspection
2. 100 % Audit Checks
3. Immediate Feedback
4. Poka-Yoke
124. Inspection
The 3 basic approaches to inspection of processed product
are:
Judgement/Standard Inspection
Informative Inspection
Point of Origin Inspection
The first two approaches are widely used and considered
traditional.
Only Point of Origin Inspection actually eliminates
defects.
125. Point of Origin Inspection
May include: Switches that detect miss-
Focus on prevention, not detection. fed parts

By combining Check and Do in the Feedback/Corrective Action
ZDQ approach; the Doing is controlled
so it cannot be wrong 100% of the time!
126. ZDQ/Check and Do/Point of Origin Inspection
Point of Origin Inspection
•Check for optimum process
conditions before processing is
done and errors can be made.
•Instant feedback.
•Corrections made before
defects occur.
127. 100% Audit Checks
Point of Origin Inspection on every piece.
The second of the 4 basic elements of ZDQ.
Differs from SQC inspection:
•Does not rely on sampling
•Prevents defects
•Does not assume defects will Zero Defects
statistically occur
100% Audit checks everything on the line!
128. Quick Feedback
Error correction as soon as possible
The third of the 4 basic elements of ZDQ.
Differs from traditional inspection approaches that:
•Correct problems after the process
•Address the problem when errors are already defects
•In some cases never identify an error has occurred
ZDQ sends the operator a signal and alarms
the person that an error has happened!
ZDQ Inspections = Immediate Feedback
129. The Seven Guidelines to Poka- Yoke Attainment
1.) Quality Processes - Design “Robust” quality processes to achieve zero
defects.
2.) Utilize a Team Environment- leverage the teams knowledge,experience to
enhance the improvement efforts.
3.) Elimination of Errors -Utilize a robust problem solving methodology to drive
defects towards zero.
4.) Eliminate the “Root Cause” of The Errors-Use the 5 Why’s and 2 H’s
approach
5.) Do It Right The First Time- Utilizing resources to perform functions
correctly the “first” time.
6.) Eliminate Non-Value Added Decisions- Don’t make excuses-just do it !
7.) Implement an Incremental Continual Improvement Approach-implement
improvement actions immediately and focus on incremental improvements;
efforts do not have to result in a 100% improvement immediately.
130. Poka-yoke
Mistake-proofing systems
The fourth of the 4 basic elements of ZDQ.
“The machine
Does not rely on operators catching mistakes shut down. We
must have made
an error!”
Inexpensive Point of Origin inspection
Quick feedback 100% of the time
BEEP!
BEEP!
BEEP!
Most Poka-yoke devices are sensor or
jig devices that assure 100%
compliance all the time!
131. Poka-yoke
What is Poke-yoke?
A method that uses sensor or other devices for catching
errors that may pass by operators or assemblers.
Poka-yoke effects two key elements of ZDQ:
Identifying the defect immediately ( Point of Origin Inspection)
Quick Feedback for Corrective Action
How effective the system is depends on where it is used: Point of Origin or
Informative Inspection.
Poka-yoke detects an error, gives
a warning, and can shuts down
the process.
132. Poka-yoke
Poke-yoke and Point of Origin Inspections( Proactive
Approach):
A fully implemented ZDQ system requires Poka-yoke
usage at or before the inspection points during the
process.
Poka-yoke will catch the errors
before a defective part is
manufactured 100% of the time.
133. Poka-yoke
Poka-yoke and Informative Inspection( Reactive Approach):
•Check occurs immediately after the process.
•Can be an operator check at the process or successive
check at the next process.
•Not 100% effective, will not eliminate all defects.
•Effective in preventing defects from being passed to next
process.
Although not as effective as the
Source inspection approach, this
methodology is more effective than
statistical sampling and does
provide feedback in reducing
defects.
134. Poka-yoke Systems Govern the Process
Two Poka-Yoke System approaches are utilized
in manufacturing which lead to successful ZDQ:
1. Control Approach
Shuts down the process when an
error occurs.
Keeps the “suspect” part in place
when an operation is incomplete.
2. Warning Approach
Signals the operator to stop the process
and correct the problem.
135. Control System
Takes human element out of the equation;does
not depend on an operator or assembler.
Has a high capability of achieving zero defects.
Machine stops when an irregularity is detected.
“There must have been
an error detected; the
machine shut down by
itself!”
136. Warning System
Sometimes an automatic shut off system is not an
option.
A warning or alarm system can be used to get an
operators attention.
Below left is an example of an alarm system using dials,
lights and sounds to bring attention to the problem.
Color coding is also an effective non automatic option. “I’m glad the alarm
went off, now I’m
BEEP! not making defects!”
BEEP!
BEEP!
137. Methods for Using Poka-yoke
Poka-yoke systems consist of three
primary methods:
1. Contact
2. Counting
3. Motion-Sequence
Each method can be used in a
control system or a warning system.
Each method uses a different
process prevention approach for
dealing with irregularities.
138. Contact Method
A contact method functions by detecting whether a sensing
device makes contact with a part or object within the process.
Cylinder present Missing cylinder;piston fully
extended alarm sounds
An example of a physical contact
method is limit switches that are
pressed when cylinders are driven
into a piston. The switches are
connected to pistons that hold the Cannot proceed
part in place. In this example, a to next step.
cylinder is missing and the part is Contact Method using limit
switches identifies missing
not released to the next process. cylinder.
140. Energy Contact Devices
Photoelectric switches can
be used with objects that
Light
are translucent or
transparent depending
upon the need.
Transmission method:
Transmitter two units, one to transmit
Receiver
light, the other to receive.
Reflecting method:PE
Object sensor responds to light
reflected from object to
detect presence.
If object breaks the transmission, the machine is signaled to shut down.
141. Contact Device
An example of a
contact device
using a limit
switch. In this
case the switch
makes contact
with a metal barb
sensing it’s
presence. If no
contact is made
the process will
shut down.
142. Contact Methods
Do not have to be high tech!
Passive devices are sometimes the best method. These can be as
simple as guide pins or blocks that do not allow parts to be seated in
the wrong position prior to processing
Take advantage of parts designed with an uneven shape!
A work piece with a hole a bump or an uneven end is a perfect
candidate for a passive jig. This method signals to the operator right
away that the part is not in proper position.
143. Counting Method
Used when a fixed number of operations are required within a
process, or when a product has a fixed number of parts that are
attached to it.
A sensor counts the number of times a part is used or a process is
completed and releases the part only when the right count is
reached.
In the example to the right a limit
switch is used to detect and count
when the required amount of holes
are drilled. The buzzer sounds
alerting the operator that the
appropriate amount of steps have
been taken in the process.
144. Counting Method
Another approach is to count the number of parts or
components required to complete an operation in advance.
If operators finds parts leftover using this method, they
will know that something has been omitted from the
process.
“I have an extra
part. I must have
omitted a step!”
145. Motion-Sequence Method
The third poka-yoke method uses sensors to determine
if a motion or a step in a process has occurred. If the
step has not occurred or has occurred out of sequence,
the the sensor signals a timer or other device to stop
the machine and signal the operator.
This method uses sensors and
photo-electric devices connected to
a timer. If movement does not
occur when required, the switch
signals to stop the process or warn
the operator.
146. Motion-Sequence Method
In order to help operators select the right parts for the right step in a
process the “sequencing” aspect of the motion-step method is used. This
is especially helpful when using multiple parts that are similar in size
and shape.
In this example, each step of the machine cycle is wired to an indicator board
and a timer. If each cycle of the machine is not performed within the required
“time” and “sequence”, the indicator light for that step will be turned on and
the machine will stop.
Machine Indicator Board
147. Types of Sensing Devices
Sensing devices that are traditionally used in poka-
yoke systems can be divided into three categories:
1. Physical contact devices
2. Energy sensing devices
3. Warning Sensors
Each category of sensors includes a
broad range of devices that can be
used depending on the process.
148. Physical Contact Sensors
These devices work by
physically touching
something. This can be a
machine part or an
actual piece being
manufactured.
In most cases these
devices send an electronic
signal when they are
touched. Depending on
the process, this signal
can shut down the
operation or give an
operator a warning
signal.
149. Touch Switch
Used to physically detect the presence or absence of an object or
item-prevents missing parts.
Used to physically detect the height of a part or dimension.
150. Energy Sensors
These devices work by using
energy to detect whether or not an
defect has occurred.
Vibration Photoelectric Fiber optic
151. Warning Sensors
Warning sensors signal Color Code
the operator that there
is a problem. These
sensors use colors,
alarms, lights to get the
workers attention !
These sensors may be
used in conjunction with Lights connected
a contact or energy to Micro
switches &
sensor to get the Lights timers
operators attention.
152. To prevent mistakes, develop error proofing
devices
POKA-YOKE
to avoid (yokeru) inadvertent errors (poka)
Checklists
Dowel and locating pins
Error & alarm detectors
Limit or touch switches
Detectors, readers, meters, counters
153. Two types of error proofing devices
POKA-YOKE
Control - eliminates the possibility of a
mistake to occur (automatic machine
shutdown)
Warning - signals that a mistake can
occur (blinking light, alarm, etc.)
154. 3 Rules of POKA-YOKE
Don’t wait for the perfect POKA-
YOKE. Do it now!
If your POKA-YOKE idea has better
than 50% chance to succeed…Do it!
Do it now….improve later!

157. CASE STUDY
IBM compared part counts, bills of materials,
standard versus custom part usage, and estimated
processing costs by tearing down competitor
products as soon as they are available.
"Through such tear-downs during the heyday of the
dot matrix printer, IBM learned that the printer made
by the Epson, its initial supplier, was exceedingly
complicated with more than 150 parts.
IBM launched a team with a simplification goal and
knocked the part count down to 62, cutting
assembly from thirty minutes to only three."1
