Visual Display Boards For Lean Manufacturing

Visual management boards are information hubs displayed in the workplace to provide important information, such as KPIs, regulations and production results to all workers in the facility.

  • They act as visual communication tools to demonstrate to workers the goals the company is achieving and areas of improvement allowing managers and workers to interpret data to make real-time decisions to accelerate action and change, and to save time (and money) which would have otherwise been lost.

    To work effectively alongside lean management, visual display boards should be:

    • Large enough for people to spot at a glance
    • Not cluttered with irrelevant information, but equally have enough on there to be a valuable addition to your workspace
    • Located in areas of high foot traffic, or next to areas of production
    • Consistently updated as needed, with irrelevant information removed promptly

    Visual management boards are just one example of visual communications that can be implemented in the workplace. There is also signage, colour coding, visual project, clear floor markings, and container labelling.

So, How Do You Use Visual Display Boards?

An effective visual management board will be clear and easy to read at a glance, it needs to contain all the key information for the workplace to help create employee engagement. There are several types of visual boards that you could use within your workplace, and we’ve outlined some of the most popular choices below. 

Floor Standing Visual Board

Floor standing boards, much like ourplanning panels, provide you with an area to communicate key information to the whole of your team at a glance. We’ve created two large writable surfaces on our communication boards, which could be used to track and display a number of processes, projects, or methodologies. Add dynamic visuals to keep your team engaged, and colour coordinate information where needed.
