The purpose of visual management

A properly designed visual environment makes deviations visible within 30 seconds — without asking anyone. These standards define what the normal state looks like, and what a deviation looks like.

  • Anyone can see whether everything is in place
  • New staff become self-sufficient faster
  • Deviations are spotted instantly
