Date: 2013-04-22

For years, automobile companies have utilized "Mistake Proofing" as a technique for ensuring high quality, high speed manufacturing - especially in mass scale production. This is also known as Poka-Yoke (in Japanese) and was adopted and formalized as part of the Toyota Production System. In this talk, I intend to build awareness of how Mistake Proofing Poka Yoke techniques can be utilized to design and develop software, especially in Distributed teams, where face-to-face communication and over-the-table shouts aren't possible. Mistake Proofing interlocking techniques will automatically take care of ensuring that people don't make mistakes, don't deviate from standard procedures, don't break localization, and don't introduce bugs inadvertently into the system. You may call this: 'Poka Yoke Aided Software Development.'
