Andon
a mechanism, usually a rope, that a worker may pull to signal the need for assistance, and which will stop the line if the problem is not fixed under Takt time.
Andon Cord
a position on the assembly line where a zone process is completed. It is at these positions that the line will stop should an abnormality not be corrected on time - at the end of takt time.
Fixed-Position Stop
-“mistake-proofing” or “error-proofing”
-Techniques using low-cost devices or innovations that make it impossible to make mistakes
-Helps people process work right the first time.

Jidoka
The concept of building quality into a process yet not having to inspect it is part of which methodology
