Control activities on the effectiveness of assembly processes and on tightening accuracy, are essential elements for every production company and are strictly connected to production capacity, to costs and to the final product quality.

Here the new calendar with upcoming webinars dates to explore issues related to the tightening world and not only: a concrete help for you and for your company competitiveness.

The Webinar run by Mattia Garziera, Fiam Sales Area Manager, will deal with:

• main risk factors
• how to set up a work station
• necessary tools for an ergonomic manufacturing activity.

POKA-YOKE is a Japanese term. But which is its real meaning? It is used to indicate a design choice or apparatus that imposes restrictions on how an operation can be carried out to force the user to do so correctly. This composite word literally means “avoid (yokeru) careless mistakes (poka)”.
