VISUAL CONTROLS

Visual Controls is a means of managing a value stream, or a cell, whereby everyone walking into the area (GEMBA) can understand the performance of that area in an instant. Visual Controls may be signs, labels and/or markings that allow those unfamiliar with the process to easily understand what is being done, at the place it is being done and anything that is out of place.

Visual Controls are effective in controlling inventory, maintenance scheduling, identifying machine and tool locations, as well as communicating key goals and progress toward achieving those.

The 7 areas for Visual Controls are:

  1. Schedule and Delivery Controls
  2. Quality Controls
  3. Work Controls
  4. Facility Controls
  5. Equipment & Tooling Controls
  6. Performance Improvement Controls
  7. Material Flow Controls

Benefits to your organization:

CITEC conducts Visual Controls programs as either a one-day training program or as a workshop with implementation at your facility over 3 – 5 days.
