Mistake-Proofing for Operators: The ZQC System book
Mistake-Proofing for Operators: The ZQC System, a book by the Productivity Press Development Team, is available from Improvement Tools.com .
The Zero Quality Control System (ZQC) is a mistake-proofing approach that prevents defects by monitoring processing conditions at the source and correcting errors that cause defects.
Since it is human nature to make mistakes, ZQC does not blame people for errors but instead finds ways to keep errors from becoming defects.
In this breakthrough approach, mistake-proofing devices called poka-yoke are used to check and give feedback about each product or operation in the process, not just a sample.
This book introduces operators and assembly workers to the basic methodology of ZQC in an easy-to-read format that covers all aspects of this important manufacturing improvement strategy.
Mistake-Proofing for Operators includes the instructional features that are the signature of the Shopfloor Series.
In this series Productivity Press has taken the lead in adult education by teaming with instructional designers to develop complete programs for frontline learning.
The goal is to place powerful and proven improvement tools such as ZQC and mistake-proofing in the hands of the company's entire workforce.
It includes:
- A universal reading level
- Margin icons that highlight key learning points
- Real-life examples to reinforce new ideas
- Reflection questions throughout that help readers apply the concepts
- Drawings, illustrations, and photographs
Winner of the 1990 Shingo Prize for Excellence in Manufacturing, Mistake-Proofing for Operators is based on Zero Quality Control: Source Inspection and the Poka-Yoke System by Shigeo Shingo.
