Jidoka is a technique to provide machines and operators with the ability to detect when an abnormal condition has occurred and immediately stop the work. Also known as autonomation, meaning "automation with human intelligence", Jidoka is the tool of built-in quality and supports just-in-time production. With an effective Jidoka system in place, companies can ensure that defects are not passed on to the customer, equipment breakdown is prevented and operators can work on multiple machines instead of wasting their time watching them.
In this training presentation, you will learn the key concept and principles of Jidoka, understand the tools and the four-step process of Jidoka, as well as gain insights on developing an effective Jidoka system.

FAQ
What is Jidoka?
Jidoka refers to the ability of machines to detect problems and stop automatically, allowing operators to focus on value-added tasks.
How does Jidoka improve quality?
By stopping production at the first sign of a defect, Jidoka prevents defective products from moving through the process, ensuring higher quality outputs.
What tools are essential for implementing Jidoka?
Key tools include Andon systems for visual management, Poka-yoke for error-proofing, and sensors for real-time monitoring.
What are the 4 steps of the Jidoka process?
The 4 steps are: detect the abnormality, stop the equipment, fix the immediate condition, and investigate the root cause.
How can Jidoka be integrated into existing processes?
Jidoka can be integrated by identifying waste, implementing visual management tools, and training staff on the principles of Lean.
What is the role of management in Jidoka?
Management plays a crucial role in fostering a culture of continuous improvement and ensuring that Jidoka principles are adhered to across the organization.
