Meaning and definition of poka-yoke :
Poka-yoke—A mistake-proofing device or procedure to prevent a defect during order-taking or manufacture. An order-taking example is a screen for order input developed from traditional ordering patterns that questions orders falling outside the pattern. The suspect orders are then examined, often leading to discovery of inputting errors or buying based on misinformation. Literally translated, “foolproof”. A manufacturing example is a set of photocells in parts containers along an assembly line to prevent components from progressing to the next stage with missing parts. The poka-yoke in this case is designed to stop the movement of the component to the next station if the light beam has not been broken by the operator’s hand in each bin containing a part for the product under assembly at the moment. A poka-yoke is sometimes also called a baka-yoke.
