Training Session 1 - Visual Workplace

A business in which most of the important information we need to do our jobs is easily available through visual systems

Common Problems that can be remedied with a visual workplace

• I’m not sure what I should be working on
• If a problem arises somewhere else, I’m not sure how it impacts what I should be doing
• I can’t easily find the tools/materials I need to do my job
• We can’t respond quickly to change
• Getting help on problems takes a long time

How Is A Visual Workplace Different?

• Makes it easy to distinguish normal from abnormal conditions
• Ties things together logically and visually
• A place for everything and everything in its place
• Simple clear communication and better organization leads to better responsiveness
• Problems are visible; so is a failure to solve them
