Course overview

Telling people to be more careful does not prevent mistakes; designing the mistake out does. This course covers building processes where the wrong action is difficult or impossible.

What you will be able to do
  • Identify where human error is likely in a process
  • Distinguish slips, lapses and deliberate deviations
  • Design controls that prevent rather than detect
  • Apply simple physical and procedural safeguards
  • Test whether a safeguard actually works
  • Avoid safeguards that people work around
Who should attend
  • Process and quality engineers
  • Operations supervisors
  • Continuous improvement practitioners
  • Designers of procedures and workflows
