What would happen if you could eliminate mistakes in your manufacturing operations?  Impossible you say?  Not if you implement mistake-proofing techniques.  When you eliminate mistakes everything you make will be made right the first time; you will have no scrap, no rework, and no disappointed customers.

Mistake-Proof It! teaches engineers, supervisors, technicians, and operators how to develop and implement mistake-proofing techniques.  In addition to extensive content, exercises, and over a hundred examples of mistake-proofing in a variety of industries, a key feature of the program is the Mistake-Proof It! Project Log.  The Project Log will bring the training to life by walking learners through a series of questions and exercises to apply what they are learning to their own mistake-proofing problem.  Not only will employees learn mistake-proofing techniques, but they will begin using the techniques as they are going through the training.
