Overview:

Human error is known to be the major cause of quality and production losses in many industries.

Although it is unlikely that human error will ever be totally eliminated, many human performance problems can be prevented. Human errors start at the design stage. From procedures, training, supervision, and workplace environment many variables that affect human behavior CAN be manipulated reducing the likelihood of these occurrences.

To work with these challenges it is really important to understand human behavior and the psychology of error as well as understand exactly where the system's weaknesses are, so they can be improved and/or fixed. This course offers practical approaches for supervision on the floor, strategies to get your group in sync, and approach issues in GMP-related environments by using a specific methodology to correct, prevent and avoid the re-occurrence of these issues.

Why should you Attend:
This training would provide tools that can be implemented and used after this event. This includes practical tools. We will discuss why supervision is so important in reducing and preventing human error. Supervision approaches, near root causes, and root causes for supervision-related errors will address the main 5 elements to assure an error-free environment.

  • Background on Human Error Phenomena
  • What is Human Error
  • Importance of Human Error Prevention/reduction
  • Supervision and human error
  • Facts about human error caused by supervisors and how to avoid it
  • When operator error is the Root Cause?
  • How is Human Error controlled by supervision?
  • Common mistakes: Memory failures, Overconfidence, Visual Detection, and Vigilance Effectiveness and how supervision can help improve these
  • Types of error
  • Human error rates and measurement
  • Trending and tracking
  • Prediction
