I'm going with C) poka-yoke. Differentiating the screw heads is a great way to visually cue the workers and prevent the critical defect. This is like the 'square peg, round hole' of the manufacturing world. *grins*

C) poka-yoke, no doubt about it. This is textbook mistake-proofing to eliminate the possibility of the critical defect. Gotta love those clever engineers and their screw head solutions. *laughs*

Hmm, I'm going with C) poka-yoke. Changing the screw heads is a clever way to physically prevent the wrong screws from being used. It's like the engineering equivalent of a 'baby-proof' cabinet. *chuckles*

User 2: Yeah, it's like a foolproof system. Making it impossible to use the wrong screws.

I was torn between C) poka-yoke and D) standard work, but the fact that they're changing the screw head designs to make them visually distinct makes poka-yoke the clear answer here.
