Visual Management

Visual Management Systems are systems that enable anyone to immediately assess the current status of an operation or process at a glance, regardless of their knowledge of the process.

Elements of visual management are

• visual displays: relate information and data to employees in the area. Examples are charts, procedures, metrics and process documentation
• visual controls: intended to control the actions of the group members. Examples are status boards and quality controls
• visual process indicators: examples are painted flow areas and flow indicators
• visual documentation of processes

Lean Manufacturing Implementation Steps

Establish the need for change

Assess your company

• define product groupings and current processes
• specify value
• identify the value stream (current and future state map)

Educate at all levels

Support the learning of the lean tools and methods

Implement the lean tools and methods

• organize the workplace (5S)
• improve plant layout for flow manufacturing
• reduce lot sizes, setup times, lead times and inventory
• develop a pull system
• standardize operations
• improve quality
• improve maintenance

Modify the organization structure: everybody’s job is going to change, people from the shop floor to the top floor will work differently and in departments that are structured differently

Establish improvement metrics

Seek perfection
