Presentation:
The evening program will cover an overview of the latest developments on principles and practices that can be applied to prevent errors resulting from human nature. Except for acts of God / acts of nature, losses are attributable to human error - not only error in the implementation of processes but also error in the design of the processes, including the design of the hardware used in the processes. The prevention of human error should have very high priority.
Aside from discovery and invention, human error prevention can be the greatest contributor to improved productivity, safety and quality. As such, this one-day workshop is of value to anyone responsible for improvements in these areas.
The principles and practices of human error prevention are universally applicable regardless of the type of industrial, commercial or governmental enterprise, and regardless of the type of function performed within the enterprise.
