English term or phrase: Poka-yoke

"avoiding (yokeru) inadvertent errors (poka)) is a behavior-shaping constraint, or a method of preventing errors by putting limits on how an operation can be performed in order to force the correct completion of the operation. The concept was originated by Shigeo Shingo as part of the Toyota Production System. Originally described as Baka-yoke, but as this means "idiot-proofing" the name was changed to the milder Poka-yoke. One example is the inability to remove a car key from the ignition switch of an automobile if the automatic transmission is not first put in the "Park" position, so that the driver cannot leave the car in an unsafe parking condition where the wheels are not locked against movement. Another example can be found in a normal 3.5" floppy disk: the top-right corner is shaped in a certain way so that the disk cannot be inserted upside-down Poka-yoke (ポカヨケ - pronounced "POH-kah YOH-keh" means "fail-safing" or "mistake-proofing"

Explanation:
In Inglese ed in Francese questo concetto di solito non si traduce. Si usa il termine giapponese tale quale. Mi pare che sia la stessa cosa anche in italiano. Se vuole, puo' spiegare il concetto fra parentesi, pero' se la traduzione è destinata agli professionisti dell'industria automobile, alora non è necessario neanché spiegarlo, perché loro conoscono la significazione di questo termine.
