3. Jidoka Concept – Sakichi Toyoda Jidoka has been defined as “automation with a human mind” • Humans make mistakes • Since humans work in the system, you can never eliminate mistakes • Machines make defects • Since machines are supervised by humans, use the humans to find and fix the machines that make defects • “… thus Zero defects is absolutely possible.” – Shigeo Shingo IENG 451 Operational Strategies

5. Jidoka Concept • Really, we are leveraging on Process Capability: • Old World Mfg – produce as much and as fast as possible. Replace defective products when someone complains. • New World Mfg – NEVER pass on a defective product. Stop the line and fix the process … and continually improve the process • By continually strengthening Jidoka, we are improving our process capability, and putting our firm in a better position for the future. • Focus on improving process capability (Poke Yoke) – by investigating defect causes and fixing the machines that cause them and by eliminating human mistakes • Focus on containing defects (Zone Control)– by having people find defects and containing them within the zone of control IENG 451 Operational Strategies

6. Poke Yoke Most Common Errors: • Missing Process Steps • Process Errors (does not meet standard) • Mis-set Work Pieces (piece set backwards) • Missing Parts • Wrong Parts • Faulty Machine Operation • Adjustment Error (depth of cut stop set wrong by operator) • Equipment Set Up Wrong • Tools / Fixtures / Jigs Inadequately Prepared A Good Poke Yoke either prevents these or makes an error obvious: • Simple, with a long life • Highly reliable • Low cost • Designed for workplace conditions IENG 451 Operational Strategies

7. Poke Yoke Examples A Good Poke Yoke either prevents errors or makes an error obvious: • Humans are not good at simple, repetitive motions (like sorting clips) • Machines can do the same action repeat ably IENG 451 Operational Strategies

8. Poke Yoke Examples A Good Poke Yoke either prevents errors or makes an error obvious: • Humans are not good at dull tasks (like orienting rivets) • Simple additions to machines can do the task 100% of the time. IENG 451 Operational Strategies

9. Poke Yoke Examples A Good Poke Yoke either prevents errors or makes an error obvious: • In the temporary case, a human could orient the bottle caps. But to do it long term, would be a waste of the human capacity to solve problems. • A three stage, simple addition to the machine can do the task 100% of the time at a lower cost.

10. Jidoka Implementation Involvement is Everything: people love to solve problems. • SMART Goals: • Simple • Measurable • Achievable • Reasonable (relevant) • Trackable • Motivation: • Extrinsic Motivation – comes from physical rewards • Monetary • Gifts • Intrinsic Motivation – comes from personal satisfaction • Recognition by peers • Personal growth (skills development) & self-actualization (self-accomplishment) • Contribution to a broader / larger goal IENG 451 Operational Strategies
