Poka-yoke
"Poka-yoke (????, Poka-yoke?) (IPA: [poka joke]) is a Japanese term that means 'fail-safing.' 'Foolproof' or 'mistake-proofing' — avoiding (yokeru) inadvertent errors (poka)) is a behavior-shaping constraint, or a method of preventing errors by putting limits on how an operation can be performed in order to force the correct completion of the operation. The concept was formalised, and the term adopted, by Shigeo Shingo as part of the Toyota Production System. Originally described as Baka-yoke, but as this means "fool-proofing" (or "idiot proofing") the name was changed to the milder Poka-yoke."
