If it was my guys, I'd ask them if they knew what they did wrong. When I was sure they did, I ask them if it's likely it'll happen again.
So far, that's all it takes. They take their jobs seriously and I don't see punishing them.
When I've done the same thing (and I have), management treats me the same way.
Besides, the only guys making mistakes are the ones that are busy.
