The PPI Error Elimination TOOLs™ is a set of simple behavioral TOOLs proven to virtually eliminate the potential for making mistakes while doing work.
These TOOLs have been developed, refined, and used extensively by the US commercial nuclear and airline industries.
These are the same TOOLs used by the Nuclear Industry over the past two decades to increase capacity factors from 70% to 92% while achieving a more than ten-fold reduction in OSHA Illness and Injury Rates.
At the Practicing Perfection Institute, Inc. (PPI), we’ve crafted these TOOLs into a format that’s fast, simple, and easy-to-use, which is now brought to you as an Android APP.
