Despite frequently being listed as the reason for product defects or process deviations, “Human Error” or Operator Error is NOT a root cause. It’s also not inevitable!

In quality event investigations, manufacturers frequently try to explain what caused the problem by citing “human error.” However, the focus should be not just on explaining WHY the error was made by the human but how to prevent future errors.
Chris Cinieri, Polaris MEP Project Manager and president of the Rhode Island chapter of the American Society Quality, will explore Error Prevention in this fast-moving webinar.
What to Expect
Go deeper into the WHY and WHAT of human error. Then learn HOW you can move your manufacturing company’s approach from correction to prevention with a variety of tools and tactics.
Attendees will learn:
- What are some of the causes of “Operator Error”
- Why retraining does not work
- Which lean manufacturing and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) tactics/tools can help you mitigate human error and continually improve processes
Chris will share insights from his experiences as a manufacturer and as a consultant training leads for continous improvement.
