Visual Controls & Visual Managements

VISUAL CONTROLS:
• Various tools of visual management such as color-coding, charts, andon boards,
schedule boards, labels and markings on the floor.
VISUAL MANAGEMENT:
• When the normal state and abnormal state can be clearly and
visually defined, visual management is possible. In visual management, simple
visual tools are used to identify the target state, and any deviance is met with
corrective action.
Visual Management instructions should be unambiguous and clear. As much as possible both "what" and "why" should be obvious so there is no room for questioning in the critical moment. Instructions as visual management tools should make the abnormal condition very clear.
