In countries like Japan, Singapore, Korea etc, you can experience the implementation of visual management to a great extent. Visual management is effectively implemented not only in industry but also at all public and private establishments. The direction boards on roads, safety signs at places, good motivational quotes across the country in the view of developing culture.
They are following this for past many years and really gained benefits with regards to creating of good culture and developing feel of responsibility as a good citizen of the country. We also realize it when we visit these countries. To our surprise, even a small child understands the messages communicated through effective signs displayed at the public places. Such effective visual management has helped all these countries to make people understand the duties of a good citizen. Here we need to think that if the visual management so effective and adding value in daily life, then what magic it can have if we effectively implement in our professional life i.e. at our offices, factories etc.
The concept of VISUAL FACTORY evolved after experiencing the positive impacts of the visual management in daily routine life. At factory, the most challenging task is to develop feel of responsibility and accountability at all levels irrespective of their nature of work & specific job profile.
Real life examples preach us that the reason for poor performance of an individual is not only the lack of competence but it is the individual’s mindset in most of the cases. There are many cases where the professional under performs just because of negative mindset in-spite of having good qualification and experience.
At any manufacturing plant/factory, the good mindset of each individual will make company win over its competitors. Developing a good team at the factory is not a simple task and it requires extensive training, routine monitoring and controlling.
Effective displays at the factory create a media of communication on several industrial parameters including Safety, Quality & Productivity. The awareness on these parameters make lot of difference in individual’s thinking and mindset for company’s progress. It is experienced that efficiency & productivity is always better in well maintained and managed workplace.
Use of visual management tools help in creating an ideal workplace where improved performance can be expected. The effective visual management is systematic identification & display of effective visuals including posters, signs, policies. Instructions, performance monitoring boards etc. The correct identification of visual tools adds lot of value in terms of effectiveness and towards creating an effective media of communication available 24×7.
