POKA-YOKE - A Lean Strategy to Mistake Proofing
A Lean Strategy in Human Error Prevention aims to detect and correct possible error immediately, eliminating defects at the source.
Poka-Yoke overcome the inefficiencies of inspection through the use of automatic devices that seek,
1.Not to accept a defect for the process
2.Not to Create a Defect
3.Not to Allow a Defect to be passed to the next process
Its purpose is to eliminate product defects by preventing, correcting, or drawing attention to human errors as they occur.
The concept was formalized, and the term adopted, by Shigeo Shingo as part of the
Toyota Production System.
It was originally described as baka-yoke, meaning "fool-proofing“ or “idiot proofing” but the name was later changed to the milder poka-yoke.

11 Tips for Implementing a Contractor Management System
The use of contractors can be both a great opportunity and a challenge. Contractors and suppliers bring specialization of skills and equipment. However, they can also bring risk to the companies that employ them. More and more companies are seeing the need for prequalifying contractors and suppliers. This could include verifying insurance requirements and tracking safety trends, to ensuring social responsibility and financial health.
Identifying risk and protecting your company brand are key considerations when managing your supply chain. Contractors and suppliers bring specialization, but they also bring risk to your organization. BROWZ has over 17 years of experience developing and implementing supplier pre-qualification programs for the world’s largest organizations. We’ve seen the elements of a successful program.

Implementing these practices helps protect all workers on a job site.
Journey to Safety Excellence – Tagline or Tangible Resource?
In 2014, the National Safety Council kicked off an initiative called “The Journey to Safety Excellence,” a result of the Council’s understanding that many small to medium sized companies do not have the same safety resources and networking capabilities as larger corporations.
To that end, the Council put together free assessment tools, resource information and a networking structure that smaller companies could utilize at no cost — so they could start down their own path of safety excellence. In this presentation, attendees will learn how businesses of many types can benefit in utilizing the free resources.
This webinar takes the audience through the steps of continuous safety process improvement, and talks through a real-life scenario of how a company could utilize each aspect of the Journey to Safety Excellence resources.

Lastly, we will provide you with recommendation options for assistance on program improvement.
We believe the content of the webinar will answer questions you may have about the SURE Audit process, and put you on a path for a successful audit.
What we'll cover:
• About BROWZ auditing & supply chain qualification
• Uploading written safety programs
• Regulatory overview
• How to read an OSHA standard
• BROWZ audit results
• Resources for written safety programs
• Q&A
Reasons for Supplier Prequalification Failure
Driven by global and regional economic development, strategic management of the supply chain continues gaining attention as a contributor to competitive advantage. In today’s marketplace, competition has moved from “among organizations” to “between supply chains”. As companies increase their dependence on their suppliers so does their risk exposure. As a result, supplier selection and management are a strategic necessity for organizations, and prequalification programs have become a cornerstone of supply chain risk management.
Life After BROWZ
BROWZ helps you identify risk in your supply chain, prequalify and continually monitor the partners you hire, manage employee-level data on your suppliers, conduct safety auditing, and source new suppliers.
What is life like before and after implementing BROWZ?
