Abstract

The construction industry is a critical sector in the economy of countries; however, it has low productivity and is associated with errors and rework. In response, poka yoke or mistake-proofing devices have been developed to avoid errors or reduce the possibility of committing them. Their application has been documented in manufacturing and, to a lesser extent, in the construction sector, where the literature on this subject is scarce. Therefore, the following article aims to develop a literature review of poka yoke in the construction sector. To this end, a literature review was conducted using PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis). Twenty-five articles related to poka yoke were analyzed. From the literature review, it was obtained that the main poka yoke found corresponds to the principle of facilitation; the main benefits reported were improvement of quality and performance and reduction of errors, and the main barrier is the lack of training on the subject. The following article will contribute to professionals and researchers in the construction sector to have a better understanding of the applications of poka yoke.
