Shigeo Shingo, Zero Quality Control: Source Inspection and the Poka-Yoke System

Published by Productivity Press, 1986, hardcover, index, 298 pages, illustrated, condition: AS NEW. 

A combination of source inspection and mistake-proofing devices is the only method to get you to zero defects. Shigeo Shingo shows you how this proven system for reducing errors turns out the highest quality products in the shortest period of time. Shingo provides 112 specific examples of poka-yoke development devices on the shop floor, most of them costing less than $100 to implement. He also discusses inspection systems, quality control circles, and the function of management with regard to inspection.

The relevance of his contribution has been substantially confirmed by the opinions of his contemporaries. Many saw him even as a contributor to the fundamental concepts of TPS, such as Just-in-time, and the pull production system, which were created by Toyota and Mr.Taiichi Ohno and still remain a strong logical and practical basis for the lean production and lean thinking management approaches. The myth prevails that Shingo invented the Toyota Production System but what can be stated is that he did document the system. Shingo contributed to the formalization of some aspects of the management philosophy known as the Toyota Production System (TPS), developed and applied in Japan since the 1950s and later implemented in a huge number of companies in the world.

Shigeo Shingo ( , Shingō Shigeo, 19091990) was a Japanese industrial engineer who was considered as the worlds leading expert on manufacturing practices and the Toyota Production System.
