			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img title="no-mistakes-100" src="http://leansigmateam.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/no-mistakes-100.gif" alt="no-mistakes-100" hspace="20" width="200" height="200" align="left" /></p>
<p><strong>ZDQ (Mistake Proofing and Fail Safeing)</strong> is a process to insure 100% defect-free quality at the source….which means, 100% quality management on the process 100% of the time as the product is made. ZDQ is not sampling inspection after the fact, it is not 100% “clear and sort” inspection, it is not statistical process control (SPC), it’s much more effective than any of these.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>ZDQ has 2 parts and 4 levels of Quality Control:</p>
<p>Level 1 Mistake Proofing = eliminating sources of product defects</p>
<p>Level 2 Mistake Proofing = preventing defects from being made</p>
<p>Level 3 Fail Safeing = detecting a defect as soon as it’s made (line stop)</p>
<p><span id="more-69"></span></p>
<p>Level 4 Fail Safeing = managing the defect that is made (countermeasures)</p>
<p>Learning Objectives:</p>
<ol>
<li>Why Mistake Proof and Fail Safe your processes?</li>
<li>What is ZDQ?</li>
<li>Poke Yoke</li>
<li>Jidoka</li>
<li>Judgement Inspection vs. Informative Inspection vs. Source Inspection</li>
<li>Is 99.97% quality good enough?</li>
<li>Some common everyday examples of MP and FS</li>
<li>Root Causes of Human Errors</li>
<li>MP/FS 12 Step Process</li>
<li>Seven MP/FS Principles</li>
<li>Red Flag Conditions</li>
<li>Errors of Perception, Errors of Memory, Errors of Motion</li>
<li>MP/FS Applications</li>
</ol>
<p>Duration: 2 days</p>
