Visual aids

General

The purpose of visual aid is to improve the effectiveness of communication and reaction.

Visual aids recommendations:

• Expose waste (7-wastes) and make it clear to everyone.
• The work area/cell/machine should “talk” to you in simple terms
• The goals should be clearly indicated
• The status of production should be found with the goals
• Simple problem-solving tools on display (such as 5-WHY, Ishikawa)
• Increased communication is ultimately what all the above will do
