While the last part is usually almost nonexistent—except when fixing issues—it becomes essential in Jidoka and pull flow. This renewed attention also reduces upstream demand because every team strives to get it right the first time.\n\nThe story behind the kanji\n\nIt is not about automation. It is about having the human in control. That's why there is another Kanji put in Jidoka.\n\nAt the heart of Jidoka is the capacity of built-in quality, this quality comes from poka yoke.\n\n> Inspection does not improve quality, nor guarantee it. Inspection is too late. The quality, good or bad, is already in the product.\n>\n> SHIGEO SHINGO Japanese Industrial Engineer\n\nWhat's autonomation really is about\n\n_Automation with a human touch_ 働: in a world where the industrial revolution will happen in tech, we need to keep in mind that a valuable work is when we can automate the realisation but keep the decision making.\n\n---\n\nReferences\n\n- Lean without jidoka is just fordism\n- Ma\n- Don't write bug",
