The term should be Poka-yoke.  it is a device or key that permanently
prevents the recurrence of the defect it is designed to eliminate.  For
example, a person may want to put a key slot on the fab to prevent people
from loading the board into machine with a wrong orientation.  Hope this
help...

Doesn;t it sound like pokimon to you?
