Poka-Yoke in problem based learning for engineering students to increase employability rate: A preliminary study

Abstract

Cost down and profit making are the industry's ultimate goal. In this sense, product quality and customer satisfaction must be complied with in order to create a continuous company connection between clients. Product quality and customer satisfaction are heavily linked to problem solving skills. The greater the problem-solving skills; the stronger from the client point of perspective is the reputation of employers. That's why the statistics show that problem-solving abilities become one of the most significant skills employers search for from engineers (Outlook et al., 2019). A minor mistake in the manufacturing system will jeopardize the entire manufacturing operations; resulting in unnecessary waste in terms of price and time. Therefore, it's equally essential for new graduates to be fitted with problem-solving abilities instead of technical abilities alone to penetrate into the job market. The goal of this study is to create engineering students with problem-solving abilities through Poka-Yoke or Mistake Proof Methodology. The aim of this article is to evaluate current literature on problem-solving skills for graduate engineers through a systematic literature review through Poka-Yoke Methodology. This document analyzes literature primarily from Scopus and Web of Science through electronic databases. This document summarizes the methodology hired by Poka-Yoke in the engineering sector as of now. Based on this, engineers can distinguish and comprehend the strategy of problem-solving abilities in the manufacturing atmosphere to avoid early-stage process problems or errors and boost productivity.
