Visual Managment Daily Example


In some areas, such as hotel accommodation, the
visual management is on the agenda.

In any hotel in the world you will find
messages that are shown in these photos
are understandable to all
(you and the hotel staff).

Take this "Vision" in your projects
of improvement. Understandable language
by all, quickly and effectively.

When you make a 5S, a TPM or Kaizen event,
do not forget "Communication"
indeed put him first.

Create an agreement that is the same
for the entire company.
Think about it a bit more, but do it well.
