Visual Management
Visual Management is a system that displays all processes, goals, performance indicators, and problems in the workplace using visual tools in a way that is clear and easily understood by everyone. The goal is to present information instantly, clearly, and simply, accelerating decision-making and ensuring the entire team operates with a shared perspective. Tools like color codes, charts, boards, and warning labels help employees immediately distinguish between normal and abnormal conditions. Visual Management not only simplifies communication—it also clarifies responsibilities, reduces errors, and increases efficiency by streamlining processes. Imagine a system where you can understand the status of operations at a glance—that’s the “visual power” of Lean.

- Deviations in the process are noticed instantly.
- Everyone speaks the same visual language, simplifying communication.
- Complex data is presented with simple graphics.
- Roles and expectations are made clear.
