Product Description

Do you spend a great deal of time reworking products in the manufacturing process? Do defective products reach your customers? If the answer to either of those questions is yes, then much of the productive capacity of your manufacturing process is going to waste. Imagine the potential that would be unleashed if every product that rolled out of your plant came out right the first time without rework, without defects.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than Shingeo Shingo's book on ZQC/poke yoke, November 6, 2008

By	J. M. A. Lanooy "John Lanooy" (The Netherlands) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a very extensive book. The policy behind poke yoke is described well and compared with six sigma SPC approach. Unfortunately like most poke yoke books it is based upon automotive (batch) production. Half of the books is examples which is good however here most examples are on jigs and not the more modern sensor approach.
At the end of the book there is a very usefull section on possible poke yoke sensors and a list of suppliers. This part makes the book more up to date than other poke yoke books. However I think that even this book is a little behind the current available poke yoke devices.

5.0 out of 5 stars Make No Mistake --This is a good book, June 9, 2003

By A Customer

Reccommended for those studying lean operations, the work is easy to read and extends the thinking on the issues, with great examples of poka-yoke devices that can be used almost anywhere.
