Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using tooling to prevent a part from being inserted upside down is an example of poka-yoke technique. Poka-yoke technique is aimed at preventing human error in a manufacturing process by designing the process in such a way that mistakes cannot be made or easily detected and corrected before the product leaves the line. In this case, the tooling is designed to only allow the part to be inserted in the correct orientation, eliminating the risk of it being inserted upside down.
