PPI Error Elimination TOOLs™ is a set of simple behavioral TOOLS that have been shown to virtually eliminate the chance of making errors while working.
These TOOLS have been developed, refined, and used extensively by the US commercial, nuclear, and aviation industries.
These are the same TOOLS used by the nuclear industry over the last two decades to increase capacity factors from 70% to 92% and achieve a more than tenfold reduction in OSHA illness and injury rates.
At the Practicing Perfection Institute, Inc. (PPI), we have created these TOOLS in a format that is fast, simple and easy to use, now coming as an Android APP.

Whether your team is new to behavioral error reduction or you want to 'kick the butt' out of stalled efforts... Or you just want to FOCUS...
The (6) POWER TOOLS form the CORE, task by task, of your performance improvement efforts: they keep things SIMPLE, EASY to UNDERSTAND and QUICK to IMPLEMENT.
This specific set of TOOLS has a UNIVERSAL IMPACT on individual Decisions, Actions and Behaviors.
