Visual Systems - Harnessing the Power of a Visual Workplace

Gwendolyn D. Galsworth

4.1/5 ( ratings)

"When an industrial workplace is dirty, cluttered or poorly marked, it's not just bad to the eyes -- it's bad for the business.

This book is a comprehensive guide to ""visual systems"" -- a highly successful approach that uses visual indicators, signs, controls, and guarantees to direct and support activities on the shop floor. The goal is a self-explaining, self-regulating workplace where critical information is shared rapidly, accurately -- and without speaking or reading a word.

Packed with case examples, photos, tables, and checklists, the book shows how visual systems can reduce costs by:

* radically improving both quality and safety

* triggering new levels of employee participation

* cutting wasted motion and needless use of space and materials

* creating a company-wide visual improvement ""language"""
