Poka Yoke with Matt Hansen at StatStuff

This document discusses the Lean concept of poka-yoke, which refers to mechanisms designed to prevent mistakes. Poka-yoke implies a method that detects, fixes, and prevents errors as they occur. Examples given include a vehicle brake that must be pressed before shifting out of park to ensure safety, and polarized electrical plugs that prevent shock hazards. The document encourages identifying regular processes, the types of poka-yoke mechanisms in each to prevent what errors, and their effectiveness. It also prompts considering what other errors could be prevented and the potential impact of additional poka-yoke implementations.
