¿Cuáles son las mejores maneras de mejorar la calidad de su producto con poka-yoke y Six Sigma? (2024)

The main motive of mistake proofing is,"PREVENT a defect from occurring and if that is not possible, DETECT the defect every time it occurs"

I concur with Balaji L.R. This definition of Poka-Yoke is incorrect. It’s not merely about making mistakes unlikely or difficult but about mistake-proofing the process. This means preventing mistakes from occurring or prevent them being passed on. Making mistakes less likely through intuitive operator interfaces is Usability Engineering. It is useful but falls short of mistake-proofing. Another aspect of Poka-Yoke that is missing is that it must not add labor. This is because any device that adds labor is guaranteed to be by-passed under volume pressure and won’t durably work. Finally, it should be said that Poka-Yoke is the right tool to use only once you have a capable process executed in a flow line.

As described in this paragraph, Six Sigma is nothing more than World War II vintage SPC. The only more recent item is the cause-and-effect diagram, which I have never seen used outside of classroom training. The claim that “Six Sigma can help you increase customer loyalty, reduce costs, enhance profitability, and achieve excellence” is not part of explaining what it is.

Six Sigma is a development quality improvement methods. It helps in determining a combination of parameter values from the range available for various variables in a process. This setting gives the minimum variance for the process.The other idea is that for producing any part you have to make the tolerance of the part equal to six Sigma of the process.How to reduce variance of the process? Six Sigma calculations indicate the variable value direction that can have positive effect. But engineering is required to create the change.

I have seen many Poka-Yoke concepts that worked under "normal" circ*mstances that were built into the initial project assumptions. However it is always best during the development phase, during brainstorming, to also anticipate abnormal conditions. Think "how can this be bypassed". A solid Poka-Yoke should not be defeatable and therefore running Red-Rabbits is a good validation. Of course the PDCA cycle will drive incremental improvements as new information is found and acted on.

Implementing poka-yoke in your process can enhance efficiency and reduce errors. 1. Thoroughly know the process, identifying critical steps and potential errors.2. Analyze data, conduct walkthroughs, and engage with the team to pinpoint common errors.3.Gather a cross-functional team to develop solutions, considering changes in design, layout, or additional checks.4. Aim for simplicity in solutions, like visual cues, foolproof mechanisms, or automatic checks.5.Test and Refine: Pilot solutions, collect feedback, and refine based on lessons learned during testing.6.Clearly document procedures, ensuring thorough team training.7.Establish a culture of continuous improvement, regularly reviewing effectiveness and making adjustments.

Being one of top 3 quality improvement tools-Six Sigma is used to improve any processes by reducing defects and errors, minimizing variation, and increasing quality and efficiency. Six Sigma process for solving a problem consists of five basic phases: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control.With the use of DMAIC, the root causes of errors and deficiencies in any process/operation can be determined; process improvement strategies can then be executed.Basics to apply Lean six sigma at workplace-Define: Figuring out your problem.Measure: current process performance data.Analyze: Identifying the causes of low performance.Improve: Defining and implementing remedial solutions.Control: Maintaining the solution.

When you start working on a project, the most important step is, to fully understand the problem, the projects addresses. In my experience, a classic six sigma project takes time, special when it require a lot of data gathering to understand current state. Often a simple LEAN Kaizen with a cross functional team will improve the process faster. However, following the steps of Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control is a good guide also in a Kaizen.

Six Sigma is a systematic approach to process improvement that aims to reduce defects and variations in manufacturing processes. It can be applied effectively in the wire and cable manufacturing industry to enhance product quality, reduce costs, and increase efficiency. Here are steps to use Six Sigma in this industry:1.Define the Project Scope:2.Assemble a Six Sigma Team:3.Measure the Current Process:4.Identify Critical Process Variables:5.Analyze Data and Identify Root Causes:6.Improve the Process:7.Control and Sustain the Improvements:8.Measure and Monitor Progress:9.Recognize and Reward Success:10.Expand Six Sigma Practices:

I’ve learned to never assume anything, and simply let the data talk. Really defining the problem at the start is key within the process. You can’t truly fix the problem if it’s not clearly understood and outlined. A high level flow chart would be ideal to see the full process, start to finish.Look for those Poka Yoke solutions to standardize your process when in the Improvement phase. Remove the variability from one person to the next by implementing “fool proof” ideas. Work with your team, because an outside perspective tends to lead towards really good thoughts! Run an Anova test, or an I-MR, to really gauge how your improvements impacted your process. Keep that bell curve tight, and enjoy every step of the six sigma methodology!

Poke-Yoke can easily combine with Six Sigma in Control phase. When preparing a control plan always focus to avoid a defect / failure through Poke-Yoke methodology.

To merge poka-yoke and Six Sigma, align them in a systematic approach. Use poka-yoke's preventive measures to eliminate defects at the source. Integrate Six Sigma's DMAIC methodology for structured problem-solving. Employ poka-yoke during Define and Measure phases to understand and quantify errors. In the Analyze phase, identify root causes, and implement poka-yoke solutions during the Improve phase. Validate with Six Sigma metrics and sustain improvements with poka-yoke in the Control phase. This synergy ensures a robust, error-free process.

Try mistake proofing your comments! What you say is fundamentally flawed. Where did Six Sigma come from? It was not dreamed up in someone's bath tub! Like most things it was the product of evolution. In this case it evolved from Dr Juran's Symptom Cause Remedy, Hold the gains process. To hold the gains there are two possibilities. 1. Non reversible remedies (this is PokeYoke) and 2. reversible remedies. You cannot foolproof everything. Example. A motor burns out because a worker drops adhesive powder into a vat. The powder gets into the air and is sucked into the motor. Solution, teach the worker to be more careful if a technical solution is not economic. The worker goes back to his old ways. A reversible solution. Remedy, regular audit.

Product quality can be improved in many ways. Right from design to manufacturing. ( Design - Conformance- Performance) If we limit our choices to only Poka yoke and Six sigma, we will be misled. This is what happens when we first select tool and try to find a problem
