What is Poke Yoke?

Poka-yoke (防ぐ, 'to prevent') is a Japanese error-proofing technique used in manufacturing and other processes to prevent mistakes from occurring, or to make them immediately obvious if they do. It involves designing the process to make it impossible to make certain types of errors or to provide immediate feedback when an error occurs so that corrective action can be taken. Common examples include using uniquely shaped connectors to prevent incorrect connections, or employing sensors to detect missing components.
