Visual Systems: Harnessing the Power of a
Visual WorkPlace
These
are the proven benefits of implementing "visual systems" - a highly
successful lean-production approach that uses visual indicators, signals,
controls, and guarantees to direct and support activities on the shop floor. The
result is a self-explaining and self-regulating workplace where critical
information is shared rapidly, accurately, and without speaking a word.
(Visual factory Management) Visual Systems is a comprehensive look at how
to implement this breakthrough approach. Any company can use Dr. Gwendolyn D.
Galsworth's approach to organize, share, and visually manage the thousands of
location details on which the daily life of an enterprise depends. Use this book
to build common sense and a common improvement language directly into the
workplace and put an end to costly secrets, surprises, and microsupervision. For more information and or to Purchase

5 Pillars of the Visual Work Place:
Organization.
Orderliness, Cleanliness, Standardized Cleanup, and Discipline are needed. This
is what Mr. Hirano calls the "5S's" -- simple activities that can be
difficult to implement. And this is what is required for companies to survive in
the years ahead. Americans too often expect high drama from an idea when what is
needed is simplicity--and a solid foundation to sustain good work. In 1988
Productivity Press published what we considered to be the best company wide
introduction to the Just-in-time (JIT_ production system. It was a picture book
entitled JIT Factory Revolution: A Pictorial Guide to Factory Design of the
Future. One of the numerous books written by Hiroyuki Hirano, a top
international consultant, it sparked the interest of Auburn University's Dr. JT
Black. His invaluable editing transformed Mr. Hirano's textbook for Japanese
factory workers into an educational and eye- opening "before and after JIT
plant tour" for American workers as well. For More
