Send Enquiry Poka Yoke The concept of Poka-Yoke was developed and revolutionized by a Japanese Manufact uring Engineer and Management Expert named Shigieo Shingo. The concept was origi nally known as 'fool proofing' but was later changed to 'mistake proofing'. The word Poka Yoke means to avoid inadvertent errors. The effective implementation o f this concept leads to a business that consumes less energy, time and resources in doing the things in a wrong manner. This concept aims at eliminating chances of making mistakes. In extreme cases, i f there arises a possibility to eliminate the mistake completely, it is to be en sured that it is immediately detected and set right before sending to the client . Undetected service errors may result in serious failure of the product. Any pe rson ranging from a manager to a line supervisor can develop a Poka Yoke to solv e minor defects that might lead to inconvenience to clients or major ones leadin g to safety or environment hazards. Our company helps the customers in instituting a system for implementing Poka-Yo ke. The customer's employees are given intense training in Poka-Yoke concepts as well as the steps to implement them. We enable their teams to understand the en tire process that includes knowing the way mistakes happen and measures to preve nt them from taking place.

Send Enquiry Theory Of Constraints Propounded by Eliahu Godratt, the theory of constraints recognizes that organisa tions exist to achieve a goal. This concept focusses on an organisation's scarce resources for improving the performance of the real constraint. For managing co nstraints, a five step process involving ongoing improvement is followed:

 Identify - In order to manage a constraint, it is essential to identify it. Exploit - Focus on how to get more value within the existing limitations, by foc ussing on the weaknesses within the constraint. Subordinate - If our goal is to achieve the target, which would be seriously aff ected by the identified constraint, subordinate all other goals and initiatives to this single goal of overcoming this constraint. Eliminate or reduce queuing at the non-constraint resource/s by reducing resourc es applied there. Elevate - If, after fully exploiting this process, it still cannot produce enoug h value to satisfy the set goal, find other ways to meet it (like increasing capacity). Review and go back to Step 1.
