Utilizing Visual Management in Industrial Manufacturing
Visual identification and management are the difference between a safe and productive environment and culture and not.
Visual Management is a technique and discipline that uses visuals like colors, words, pictures, or symbols to communicate expectations, information, standards, or warnings. The goal is to make it clear what's happening in a situation with as little observation or time as possible.
From lack of skilled workers, supply chain complexities, worker safety, regulatory compliance, machine maintenance, inefficient planning, and increasing costs from labor, health care, supplies, energy, and freight. Manufacturing must be as productive and safe as possible.
The Impact of implementing 5S and Lean Ideologies
5S and Lean Implementations as well as Safety programs will help drive the efficiency route, but how do we maintain this over time? It is visual management, along with culture change and leadership commitment for continuous improvement.
Visual management is essential for a successful 5S implementation:
- Foundation: Visual management can create a solid foundation for 5S projects.
- Identification of problems: Visual management helps identify irregularities and eliminate waste.
- Safety: Visual management can help improve safety.
- Ownership: Visual management encourages workers to take ownership of their workspace.
