I believe the correct answer is "C - Poka Yoke."
Kaizen is a mindset, a practice, and an approach to work that encourages every part of the value stream to proactively look for ways to improve work quality and reduce waste. On the other hand, Poka-Yoke is a Lean technique that encourages the use of visual signals, tools, and systems that make waste due to human error extremely unlikely.
Correct answer is "C" - Poke Yoke
Attaching a fuel tank cap to a fuel tank door on a car is an example of a lean technique called "Poka-Yoke", which translates to "mistake-proofing" in Japanese; it essentially prevents errors by designing systems that make it difficult or impossible to make mistakes.
Explanation: The design of the fuel tank cap ensures that it can only be attached to the fuel tank door correctly, preventing the user from accidentally leaving the cap unattached, which would be a potential mistake.
Key points about Poka-Yoke:
Visual cues:
Often, Poka-Yoke systems use visual indicators to alert the user if something is not done correctly.
Physical constraints:
In the case of the fuel tank cap, the design of the cap and door physically prevents incorrect attachment.
Error prevention:
The goal is to proactively prevent errors from occurring in the first place, rather than relying on quality checks later on
The correct answer is C. Poka-yoke.
Explanation: Poka-yoke is a Japanese term that means "mistake-proofing" or "error-proofing." It refers to any mechanism in a process that helps an operator avoid (yokeru) inadvertent mistakes (poka). In this case, attaching a fuel tank cap to the fuel tank door prevents the user from forgetting to put the cap back on after refueling, thereby reducing the chances of errors and improving safety and functionality.
It is a lean technique that is used to prevent defects from occurring in the first place. In the case of attaching a fuel tank cap to a fuel tank door on a car, poka-yoke could be used to prevent the cap from being put on incorrectly.
