Poka Yoke - Preventing errors in production processes

The training introduces participants to the Poka Yoke methodology, which focuses on eliminating errors in production processes by implementing simple and effective preventive solutions. In a hands-on workshop, participants learn techniques for identifying potential errors and designing preventive mechanisms. The program combines theory with practice, enabling skills to be acquired through case analysis and workshop exercises using real situations from the production environment.
