JIDOKA

Japanese expression for “autonomation”. In the sense of lean manufacturing, jidoka stands for the concept and activities intended to ensure only optimal parts result from production. A specifically designed manufacturing process will stop immediately if a problem occurs. Jidoka also includes the actions taken to fix the problem and to eliminate the root cause (e.g. implement poka yoke). The main elements are stop at defect (e.g. andon), standardization, and defect prevention.
