Product Description

Review

"Dr. Hinckley's book Make No Mistake! attacks important quality issues and his approach to mistake-proofing is very unique. This is a must-read book for any corporation that wants to stay competitive. I would suggest it for all managers regardless of their discipline."

Product Description

With C. Martin Hinckley's new book Make No Mistake! An Outcome Based Approach to Mistake-Proofing, that vision can become a reality.

If you work for a company that emphasizes traditional quality control methods, it's unlikely that you've seen defects eliminated despite your substantial efforts. Make No Mistake! clarifies the reasons why such traditional methods fail and shows how world-class quality can be achieved at a minimal cost through mistake-proofing — the practice of controlling virtually every source of potential errors. As the author states, "The great value of mistake-proofing is that, independent of the cause, psychological factor, production stage, or potential consequences, it blocks or warns about an undesired outcome at a point in the process when the consequences can be minimized."

Truly the first of its kind, Make No Mistake! is a compendium of the best methods for reducing complexity, variation, confusion and the other root causes of defects — but the centerpiece of this powerful mistake-proofing tool is an outcome-based classification system that focuses on preventing rather than detecting defects. Even more importantly, Hinckley's mistake-proofing documentation forms will help you adapt this methodology to your own defect prevention efforts. Make No Mistake! is an amazing compilation of mistake-proofing tools that is encyclopedic in scope. Because mistake-proofing is a skill that improves through familiarity with previous solutions, Hinckley's new classification systems is the key to rapidly finding outstanding solutions to current problems on the shop floor. Make No Mistake! is one book that will be invaluable in your company's quest for quality.

Make No Mistake! includes:

  • Over 200 mistake-proofing examples from varied industries
  • Easy-to-use mistake-proofing documentation forms you can use on the job
  • Introduction to principles of mistake-proofing and design for assembly
  • A quick, step-by-step methodology for developing superior mistake-proofing concepts
  • Listing of select suppliers of mistake-proofing devices

Better than Shingeo Shingo's book on ZQC/poke yoke 6 Nov 2008
By J. M. A. Lanooy - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
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.

Make No Mistake --This is a good book 9 Jun 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
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.
