The BEC is offering a ½ day session on Error Proofing. This session addresses the need to prevent defects from occurring as a strategy to achieve customer satisfaction. This session also provides the participant with a complete understanding of what error proofing is, how it is used as an improvement strategy and how to analyze a problem for error proofing potential. Participants will understand how an error proofing solution is evaluated to ensure the problem it is addressing will not return.

  • How to evaluate processes for error proofing potential
