If you're aware of the tremendous improvements achieved in
productivity and quality as a result of employee involvement, then
you'll appreciate the great value of creating a visual factory.
This book explains why conventional work areas, where fragmented
information flows from "top to bottom," must be replaced by the
"visual workplace," where information flows in every direction. It
details how visual management can make the factory a place where
workers and supervisors freely communicate so that every employee
can take improvement action.
The author's year-long worldwide research resulted in an
abundance of practical recommendations. The communication
techniques he suggests will:
- Foster cohesion within groups of employees.
- Turn fault-based into fact based communication.
- Overcome such problems as absenteeism and high defect
rates.
- Stimulate an unending flow of suggestions from employees.
A valuable resource for plant, operations, and human relations
managers, this text discusses how successful companies develop
meeting and communication areas, communicate work standard
production controls such as kanban, and make goals and progress
visible. Over 200 diagrams and photos illustrate the numerous
visual techniques discussed.
