Lorei,

Not sure where to go for the benchmarking info. But, if this is a problem in your organization, and you would eliminate it, then consider doing "mistake proofing". Four primary types of mistake proofing are proposed by Shigeo Shingo and others:

Elimination: Redesign the system to eliminate the chance of the error.

Facilitation: Provide methods of guidance, hard and soft, to minimize the chance of an error.

Mitigation: Lessen the effect of the error if the resulting defect gets to the customer.

Flagging: Proven methods for insuring 100% chance of capturing and removing all defective units prior to shipment.

Other concepts, such as "source" inspection vs. "result" inspection provide support to the above.

If you would like more info on these method contact Productivity Press at (617)497-5146.
