Error prevention
Error prevention is a process or procedure to designing processes, systems, or tools so mistakes are less likely to occur. Instead of fixing errors after they happen, the focus is on stopping them in advance. This can be done by simplifying tasks, adding safeguards, standardizing procedures, using checklists, or automating steps that are prone to human error. Effective error prevention improves quality, saves time and cost, and increases safety and reliability in work, products, and services.
