Developed by manufacturing visionary John Casey, SET defines a logic stream for engineers to strategically incorporate no-cost or low-cost error-proofing devices to help production operators. The operators interface with their parts and tools in such a way that either the product is made correctly, or the process is stopped. Operators can make only good parts-nothing else. Succinctly addressing the shop floor realities and cultural challenges that can conspire to defeat even the best intentions, this volume shows how to integrate error-proofing devices into both planning and production. It outlines a method to measure the robustness of each operation as well as overall plant efficiency.
