When I do carpentry, I make and use wooden jigs when I identify situations where I know my hands will not be steady enough. This is good poka-yoke.
If someone forced me to use their jigs taylor-made to their workflow (however scientifically managed), that would be a low-trust environment.
- lmilcin 5y agoI understand this. The difference is that when somebody implements RCA findings this usually results in mandatory overhead. That is not the case with a wooden jig which you can decide to skip if it does not suit your next item you are working on. And that is the point. If I gave you the wooden jig to help you make better job but allowed you to skip it when you know better -- it shows that I trust your judgement and I only care to give you tools to help you make better job (safer). But if I give you wooden jig and tell you you are going to be fired if I see you not using it regardless of how little sense it makes just because some other employee showed bad judgment once, I am saying that I do not care for you as an individual and not only I do not trust you, I do not trust you so much that I would willingly cripple your ability to do good job just to make it less likely you make a particular type of error.
