Manufacturing is production of goods in vast quantity after processing the raw material into more valuable product. Manufacturing industry has seen a massive growth in production due to continuous growing demands and has become one of the most dangerous industry where following safety parameters and creating safety awareness is a must for the workers and the visitors.
Manufacturing industry has its own critical parameters like purchasing quality raw material, keeping accurate records, inventory management, storage and handling, improving productivity, production monitoring, waste management, environment management, creating safety awareness, work instructions for workers etc. All these parameters needs to be focused upon in creating a safe and consistent manufacturing unit.
Implementing Visual Management has become a must to most importantly follow safe working procedures and making a lean workplace which will also satisfy the requirements for ISO 9001, ISO14001, ISO 45001, AS 9100 etc. Visualmitra aims to create a visual factory or a visual manufacturing unit where the workers, visitors are aligned to what’s important. Safety signage’s like mandatory signs, danger signs, warning signs will aware the workers/visitors about the safety precautions they need to take immediately. Emergency Evacuation Plans made by visualmitra would effectively help locate the exit doors along with other critical points like fire safety, electrical safety etc.
Displaying work instructions, SOP’s, safety posters will help workers to work efficiently. Company Policy boards would gain attention of the workers, visitors, auditors to know your commitment towards safety and other parameters. Performance white boards would help to monitor overall department performance, the boards include,
- Quality Monitoring Boards
- Productivity Monitoring Boards
- Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) Boards
- TPM boards
- Total Quality Management (TQM) boards
- 5S responsibility charts
- Rework and Rejection Analysis Charts
- Traceability Compliance Charts
- Process flow charts
- Process control charts
An effective visual management will add real value to the manufacturing unit.
