Visual
Workplace is a system for improving productivity,
safety, quality, on-time delivery, profits and employee
moral by implementing "visual controls."
Visual controls make working areas user friendly
by answering questions; identifying equipment, materials
and locations; describing actions and procedures;
and providing safety warnings and precaution information.
Visual controls help employees avoid wasting time
by giving them the information they need, where and
when they need it.
A Visual Workplace begins with implementing
a Five S program.
Using Visual Workplace techniques involves proper labeling
and signage
to create a workplace in which employees have the
information they need, understand their role, and
contribute in a positive way to the success of your
company.
Establishing a Visual Workplace is not an expensive management
tool nor is it difficult to implement. It involves
posting information about the job to be done, the
work area (environment), the equipment and materials
to be used, safety and job performance.
