Monitoring systems, for example using sensors or detectors, are used for this purpose. In the event of production and machine faults, a machine is thus able to detect these independently, so to speak. This results in an automatic shutdown, which is why Jidoka is also referred to as &#8220;autonomation&#8221; (a combination of &#8220;autonomy&#8221; and &#8220;automation&#8221;).   <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"29075\"><strong data-renderer-mark=\"true\">Poka Yoke: <\/strong>A zero-defect system that eliminates errors as a preventive measure.
