Visual Workplace/Visual Thinking (VWVT) was written by the
acknowledged leading expert in workplace visuality. While other
books touch upon visual workplace tools and practices, no other
author has addressed the topic with the clarity and depth presented
here. This is a seminal book, considered by many the definition of
the field itself. First published by a small, independent press in
2005, the book won the prestigious Shingo Research Prize in the
same year. It was then and remains the only book of its kind that
describes the conceptual and practical foundation for workplace
visuality, derived from dozens of hands-on implementations in some
of the world's best or most challenging companies. Written not by
an academic, but by a hands-on practitioner who has worked for
three decades with companies in various phases of visual
transformation, the work carries the reader from the usual starting
point of 5S through to the full power of the visual-lean (R)
alliance. The book's 11 chapters are in four sections. The first
defines the visual workplace in relation to operational excellence,
along with the eight building blocks of visual thinking. The next
section, which targets the cultural conversion, is unexpectedly
thrilling as it describes the genuine transformation of both
company and employee which is at the heart of every visual
conversion. Section 3 maps the logic and sequence of Dr.
Galsworth's 10-Doorway template as you learn about the visual side
of 5S, visual standards, visual scheduling, visual material
control, visual metrics, visual problem-solving, visual leadership
as well as the visual machine (R) and visual-lean (R)office. The
final section of VTVW places visual management within the visual
continuum, shows you how to use the ten doorways to assess your own
company, and concludes with a discussion of the visual-lean
alliance, illustrated through a conversion case study. With over 25
full-color albums of visual solutions, 50+ graphs and charts, a
detailed table of contents and in-depth Index, this 277-page book
positions the technologies of the visual workplace as a premier
improvement strategy on every company's journey to operational
excellence.
