Make No Mistake!

With C. Martin Hinckley''s new book <i>Make No Mistake! An Outcome Based Approach to Mistake-Proofing</i>, that vision can become a reality.<p>If you work for a company that emphasizes traditional quality control methods, it''s unlikely that you''ve seen defects eliminated despite your substantial efforts. <i>Make No Mistake!</i> clarifies the reasons why such traditional methods fail and shows how world-class quality can be achieved at a minimal cost through mistake-proofing — the practice of controlling virtually every source of potential errors. As the author states, "The great value of mistake-proofing is that, independent of the cause, psychological factor, production stage, or potential consequences, it blocks or warns about an undesired outcome at a point in the process when the consequences can be minimized."<p>Truly the first of its kind, <i>Make No Mistake!</i> is a compendium of the best methods for reducing complexity, variation, confusion and the other root causes of defects — but the centerpiece of this powerful mistake-proofing tool is an outcome-based classification system that focuses on preventing rather than detecting defects. Even more importantly, Hinckley''s mistake-proofing documentation forms will help you adapt this methodology to your own defect prevention efforts. <i>Make No Mistake!</i> is an amazing compilation of mistake-proofing tools that is encyclopedic in scope. Because mistake-proofing is a skill that improves through familiarity with previous solutions, Hinckley''s new classification systems is the key to rapidly finding outstanding solutions to current problems on the shop floor. <i>Make No Mistake!</i> is one book that will be invaluable in your company''s quest for quality.<p><b>Make No Mistake! includes:</b><p><ul><li>Over 200 mistake-proofing examples from varied industries<li>Easy-to-use mistake-proofing documentation forms you can use on the job<li>Introduction to principles of mistake-proofing and design for assembly<li>A quick, step-by-step methodology for developing superior mistake-proofing concepts<li>Listing of select suppliers of mistake-proofing devices</li></li></li></li></li></ul></p></p></p></p>
