Abstract: Up to now, the existing research conducted on mistake-proof is for capital intensive enterprises only. However, mistake-proof is also vitally important for labor intensive enterprises. This motivates this study. With the differences between capital and labor intensive enterprises, a mistake-proof system is developed for labor intensive enterprises. The system is developed with mistake-proof design as its base, mistake-proof device as its core, and mistake-proof management and operation as complements. An application case study from a factory indicates that the system is both affordable and effective.

Key words: mistake-proof, labor intensive, mistake-proof device, mistake-proof design
