Visual Management & Display Posters
A picture is worth a thousand words. Culture, discipline and standardisation in manufacturing is enabled by repetitive enablement and enforcement of best practices. Employees who are aware of/ know the best practices tend to follow the best practices in manufacturing. The visual management practices (in Japanese: “Mieruka” meaning making something visible) are followed extensively in 4 different types:
Information – General understanding about something
Identification – What is it, a place, an item, a machine, a zone etc.
Instruction – What to do and what not to do. If not followed will result in unfavourable consequences
Planning – How we intent to do and expected outcome
