MISTAKE-PROOF AND FAIL-SAFE TECHNIQUES
(How to Mistake-Proof Your World)

Mistake-Proof and Fail-Safe Techniques is one of our courses covering the Key Integrating Principles. It is a methodology that can be used to eliminate errors and minimize their effect if they occur.

• What is Mistake-Proofing?
• What is Fail-Safing?
• What are Mistake-Proof and Fail-safe Techniques?
• How can they benefit your business?
• Does anyone ever make a mistake in your business?
• If you say, "No," you have a unique business indeed.
• Mistakes and errors are all around us.
• They reduce efficiency, decrease quality, lower morale, cost lots of money, and can drive us CRAZY.

However, there is hope for what may seem to be an impossible situation. The solution to the mistake problem is to learn how to "mistake-proof" your business. It’s really not that difficult and is immensely successful because it uses the people in the job to decide how to:

• Define the process
• Identify errors and mistakes in the process
• Prioritize those mistakes
• Identify possible solutions
• Implement the best solutions
• Celebrate!

The whole idea is to mistake-proof your business processes so that any errors that are occurring in them currently or might occur in the future are designed out of the processes so that they can never happen again.

Just think of the gain in productivity, efficiency, quality, morale, and cost savings would be in your company if your processes ran smoothly virtually all of the time.

But, since no process is 100% error-proof, Fail-Safing is used to minimize the negative impact if a mistake does occur.

So, who would benefit from this course?
Anyone interested in creating solutions to improve quality, decrease costs, improve workflow, and generate satisfaction for employees, employers and customers! The concepts shown in this course to prevent mistakes and deal with existing errors can be successfully applied throughout the product or service cycle from R&D to manufacturing to customer satisfaction."
