Visual Management Introduction
- Do you have a clockwork product flow?
- Do you take a long time incorporating customer changes?
- Do you have a factory that is run like a "war zone"?
Visual Management is a very effective operations management system. Visual Management sets up the environment (office, factory, service center, distribution warehouse, etc.) into an environment where man, machine, material, methods and environment are harmoniously organized. Visual Management compliments many other total quality management methods because the workflow is optimized according to the least resistance for people doing work. Since people will always find the easiest path of work, Visual Management is the workflow method of choice by employees.
