What is the POKAYOKE terminal?

“Picking” on assembly/production sites

“Picking” work to select parts from inventory according to instruction is carried out at production sites where parts are assembled. Increase in types of parts also increases risks to incorrectly pick parts of similar shape and approximate part name, which is a major problem at production sites.

“POKA-YOKE” is a global common word

Control of human errors in picking work is an essential element for enhancement and improvement in production efficiency and product quality. Systems and devices to prevent such human-induced careless mistakes (poka) are called “POKA-YOKE,” and currently some overseas production sites have adopted the Japanese-derived term “POKA-YOKE,” to indicate the importance of this manufacturing challenge.
