With more than 25 years in the field of Workplace Visuality, Dr. Galsworth is often invited to conduct a formal site assessment. These assessments (diagnostic visits) fall into three categories or types.
Type 1: New Site Assessment/New Factory Planning
If your company is renovating a site or planning to build a new one, it's an ideal time to arrange for our assistance to ensure that sound macro-visual workplace principles are integrated, from inception, into the new layout and infrastructure.
Type 2: Visual Competency Assessment
A formal assessment of the existing level of visual competency in a company can help an organization understand what its next steps are regarding its current Lean or Six Sigma roll out or launching a viable visual conversion.
Our proprietary assessment instrument, the Comprehensive Visual Competency Diagnostic Survey, checks a company's visual readiness levels across 24 parameters and practices. We deliver our assessment through a written report and/or an on-site briefing.
Type 3: Stalled Conversion Assessment
Even with the best of intentions, improvement initiatives get stuck, with the source of the problem often invisible to insiders. Galsworth and her team can provide fresh eyes that help un-stick a stalled implementation-including a stalled 5S initiative-and/or add insights that produce needed changes in direction, knowledge content, and implementation know-how.
We are especially adept at moving the enterprise to its next level of visual opportunity-from visual standards to visual production control boards to visual metrics to visual controls and pull systems. We can also point the way for you to build or strengthen employee engagement and/or leadership alignment, both crucial factors in a successful visual roll out.
