Make the Correct Step the Easy Step
Identify a semiconductor handoff where mistake proofing would reduce risk better than reminders.
The best reminder is a process that makes the wrong step hard. Where errors enter Look for handoffs that rely on memory: mask staging, recipe selection, lot release, probe card setup, wafer map transfer, and engineering split instructions. Four design moves Eliminate the risky step, replace it with an error-proof step, facilitate the correct action, or detect the wrong action immediately. What changes The conversation moves from 'Who forgot?' to 'Why did the process allow the foreseeable miss?' That is a stronger quality culture because it prevents repeats under pressure.
