Materials for Quality Control and Human Error Prevention in Manufacturing Using a "System" Approach
Towards quality improvement that does not blame people. Practical materials for the field to prevent human errors with 7 causes × 7 countermeasures.
In the manufacturing field, human errors such as oversight, communication mistakes, and assumptions can lead to quality defects, accidents, and increased costs. This document is based on the premise that "humans make mistakes" and systematically organizes the concept of quality management that prevents issues through "systems" rather than relying on individual attention. It explains the seven root causes of human error (memory errors, misperceptions, communication mistakes, work environment, lack of experience, complacency, and laziness) along with specific countermeasures from a practical perspective. Additionally, it introduces immediately actionable improvement approaches such as 5S activities, KY activities, double-checking, standardization, and systematization. In the latter part, it touches on the concept of creating a "system that makes errors difficult to occur" using the production management system "FUSE," providing hints for achieving both quality improvement and the prevention of dependency on individuals. This book is ideal for site leaders and quality management personnel in small to medium-sized manufacturing companies. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.*
