Primes

• Designed-Out Misuse
  • the misuse path costs exploitation effort while the legitimate path runs unmodified. Product safety (poka-yoke): child-resistant caps, asymmetric connectors that fit only one way, dead-man switches

    This sourceTrans. A. P. Dillon. Cambridge: Productivity Press, 1986. Foundational treatment of poka-yoke (mistake-proofing): mechanical arrangements (asymmetric connectors, fixtures) that make the wrong action impossible while the right action is unchanged.

• Error Proofing (Poka-Yoke)
  • Error proofing has evolved from manufacturing to healthcare (medication errors prevented by color coding and packaging), software (UI validation preventing invalid input), aviation (checklists and interlocks), and everyday consumer products (seatbelts that lock, cooking equipment that auto-shutoff, fuel-pump nozzles that stop when tank is full)

Mechanisms

• Physical Keying or Interlock
  • Its strength is the strongest guarantee in the archetype: a correctly keyed connection eliminates an entire class of catastrophic physical error unconditionally, independent of attention, training, language, or power — the canonical poka-yoke.

    This sourcePresents physical mistake-proofing constraints as poka-yoke devices that prevent wrong positioning or assembly.
