It is a widely accepted concept- a way of thinking, which undoubtedly contributed to significant results in a struggle against the occurrence of errors in various work processes. However, although PY seems to be well understood in theory, there are a large number of scientific papers and books that still seek to clarify and redefine PY, in order to finally implement its application at full capacity. Many of authors, as it seems, want to emphasize inconsistencies in current theoretical and practical experiences. This claim supports the fact of over 50 similar and different PY definitions were found in literature. It seems that most researchers did not sufficiently perceive generally accepted attitudes in the field of PY, as well as differences and inconsistencies in some of them. Due to a sense of confusion during the process design stage, an effort to predict locations of possible sources of error is a direct consequence of the diffuse knowledge in the field, which imposes the need to change that state. This paper summarizes the latest studies and definitions in the field of PY applications so a comprehensive and generally acceptable definition of PY can be proposed. In order to find a common cross-section of the most important attitudes in the field of PY, a systematic literature review has been used. It is necessary to identify the areas of disagreement, to recognize any gaps that exist and outline personal experiences and attitudes in the field. A new approach to the types of PY presented in this paper should be a good basis for creating a development model and a systematic approach to the application of PY in production and service systems. Finally, some conclusions and prospective future research directions are presentedTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Fakulteta za strojništvo
