My family and I recently returned from a vacation. We went on a cruise – our first one. And, our experience was great. I highly recommend going on a cruise – much more affordable than Disneyland, that’s for sure.
There are other benefits too, but what I want to highlight today is an ingenious Poka-Yoke method for Toilets.
Have you ever been yelled at by your spouse or significant other for keeping the toilet lid up? Did you ever wish that there was a device that prevented you from making a mistake such as not placing the toilet lid down?
Well, the Poka-Yoke approach I found on the Carnival Cruise cabin eliminates that defect (it’ll prevent being yelled at).
Notice the toilet below in our cruise cabin. Do you see the toilet knob to flush?
In order to flush this toilet, you must place the toilet lid down because the flush handle is behind it. In other words, to flush, you have to place the toilet down.
This Poka-Yoke approach works and is incredibly simple.
