Proposed five-day professional program. Approximately 25-30 training hours. Final arrangements are confirmed in the written proposal.
Course Overview
Identify recurring error conditions and design practical preventive controls.
This proposed five-day program combines practical case analysis, guided exercises and peer discussion. Participants adapt the course concepts to organizational circumstances and prepare a operational error-prevention proposal.
Learning Outcomes
Assess error patterns and process observation.
Evaluate causes task design and handoffs.
Apply a structured approach to prevention detection and feedback mechanisms.
Develop practical recommendations for testing controls and operator involvement.
Prepare and present a operational error-prevention proposal.
Who Should Attend
Quality practitioners, process owners, operations managers and continuous improvement teams.
Relevant work experience is recommended. The participant profile, prerequisite knowledge and case complexity are reviewed during planning.
Training Methodology
Facilitated discussion, worked examples, anonymized case analysis, practical exercises, peer review and an applied final assignment.
Learning assessment may include a baseline discussion, review of exercise outputs and a final presentation. Attendance and completion requirements are confirmed in the proposal.

Proposed Five-Day Course Outline
Day 1 – Error patterns and process observation
Define the business context, assess current practices and clarify the decisions relating to error patterns and process observation.
Practical output: Error patterns and process observation worksheet
Day 2 – Causes task design and handoffs
Interpret representative information and compare practical approaches to causes task design and handoffs.
Practical output: Causes task design and handoffs worksheet
Day 3 – Prevention detection and feedback mechanisms
Use the course tools in a realistic case focused on prevention detection and feedback mechanisms, documenting assumptions and recommendations.
Practical output: Prevention detection and feedback mechanisms worksheet
Day 4 – Testing controls and operator involvement
Review responsibilities, risks and follow-up measures through a practical exercise on testing controls and operator involvement.
Practical output: Testing controls and operator involvement worksheet
Day 5 – Mistake prevention design workshop
Integrate the learning through mistake prevention design workshop, present the final assignment and propose workplace actions.
Practical output: Operational error-prevention proposal
