Abstract

This paper presents a systematic review of the impact of the Poka Yoke (PY) methodology in the manufacturing industry, focusing on how these practices can influence the prevention of errors, decrease defects, ensure higher quality processes, and foster a culture of continuous improvement. This research focuses on analyzing and synthesizing the existing literature to determine its contribution to quality and operational efficiency in the manufacturing sector. This study uses reliable databases such as Scopus and ScienceDirect, applying the PICO and PRISMA approaches to structure the search and selection of relevant articles published between 2019 and 2024. The results highlight the significant reduction of errors and defects, improvements in risk management and quality, as well as the optimization of delivery times and production processes. In addition, the methodologies that best fit with PY are identified, such as 5S, SMED, TPM and VSM, which also contribute to continuous improvement and production efficiency. Likewise, the bibliometric analysis carried out reveals a growing interest in the PY methodology, with a notable increase in the number of publications in recent years, especially in countries such as India and Peru. This study provides a comprehensive and up-to-date view of the contribution of the PY methodology in the manufacturing industry, highlighting its positive impact on improving quality and operational efficiency.
