Poka Yoke

BCW Manufacturing Group has adopted the principles and techniques of post war Japan’s management for quality to its modern-day business conditions.

Poka Yoke has become one of the most powerful work standardisation techniques and can be applied to any manufacturing or service industry to support management for quality.

How does it help with quality management? Poka Yokes ensure that the right conditions exist before a process step is executed, therefore preventing defects from occurring in the first place. Where this is not possible, Poka Yokes perform a detective function, eliminating defects in the process as early as possible.

These techniques have significantly improved management for quality and reliability of our products and processes by eliminating defects.  This approach to production fits perfectly with our “Route to Excellence” creating a target zero and continuous improvement culture, which is also part of the Lean Management arsenal.
