Global recession has really impacted every industry like never before. In today’s world, every industry is facing challenge for Survival & Sustainability. The performance with regards to the basic industry parameters such as Safety, Quality, Productivity, Teamwork, Cost effectiveness, Analysis and Improvements needs attention. Creating a good culture at the company becomes a challenge.
The most vital point which is identified as a hurdle towards achievement of business targets is the mindset of the entire team of the company. The change in mindset is needed at all the levels at the company. The awareness on current business challenges and expectations from an individual team member is a must to bring in the change.
There are various methods to change the mindset of the human being. Training, Counselling, Monitoring, Controlling etc. are the traditional methods being exercised at the industry. All these methods need human intervention and one to one interaction which is a time consuming activity. Also at times, the efforts are wasted if the team member leaves the company for any of the reason. In such cases, the training and counselling activities are repeated to train the new team member to match the expectations. Due to all such reasons, these methods have limitations in producing the desired results.
Many multinational companies are implementing International techniques such as Lean, Six Sigma, 5S Technique, Kaizen etc. to inculcate good culture and create awareness on performance achievement. All such techniques are complemented with Visual Management. The visual workplace, may it be a factory or office produces better results in terms of performance and achievement of desired results. The visual workplace always creates a better culture where practices such as analysis, data monitoring, prompt actions, correct decisions are supported.
It is said that “One display is worth million words”. The display is a consultant which is available for 24 hours and all 365 days of the year. An effective display at the workplace guides the team member & at the same time, its makes team member to think and access his/her own performance. Visual management really brings awareness at all levels. Many companies are putting in efforts to identify what all can be done in terms of visual management to make the workplace productive.
Visual management at the workplace covers many Health safety posters, motivational posters, safety signs, work instructions, policies, procedures, informative boards, performance white boards etc. All such displays are noted to be effective to create awareness and also to monitor & control the performance of the individual business process. It is also believed that only display is not enough, it has to be appropriate and displayed at the right location. Hence identification of appropriate displays and identifying the display location at the facility is very important to achieve the desired results by means of visual management technique.
