mistakes\u201d. The fundamental goal is a zero-error state. At the same time, however, it is recognized that no system and no human being is able to completely avoid unintentional errors. They are part of every production and process. Poka Yoke therefore attempts to reduce or completely avoid errors with mostly simple but effective systems and to reduce the impact of errors in the production process on the end product.      <\/p><p>Shigeo Shingo is considered the inventor of the principle and the linguistic origin is derived from <a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Go_(Spiel)\">Go<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Sh%C5%8Dgi\">Shogi<\/a> (a Japanese variant of chess): In these, poka denotes a wrong move. In a broader sense, it means \u201cstupid mistake, blunder\u201d. Yoke comes from the verb yokeru, which means \u201cto avoid\u201d.  <\/p><p>As Poka Yoke was developed as part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Toyota-Produktionssystem\">Toyota Production System<\/a>, it has its origins on the store floor. However, the principles also apply in the office, warehouse and service sector, as the examples below clearly show. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-137d9344 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"137d9344\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d5a88e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d5a88e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Advantages<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3ab4f4b1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3ab4f4b1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Processes in which fewer errors occur increase quality, but also have a significant impact on productivity.
