Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The statement "Many applications of poka-yoke are deceptively simple" is true. Poka-yoke is a concept of mistake-proofing and often involves simple and low-cost solutions to prevent errors. Some examples include placing stickers or color-coding to prevent mistakes in assembly or labeling. While some applications may be expensive to implement, this is not a characteristic that applies to many or all poka-yoke solutions. Additionally, poka-yoke is not a manufacturing process but rather a quality control concept, and while Deming did advocate for quality control, he did not specifically invent or endorse poka-yoke.
