Highlights
Join visuality expert Gwendolyn Galsworth as she defines visual workplace principles and practices and demonstrates what workplace visuality is and why it is indispensable on your journey to operational excellence. Whether you are already on your journey to visual excellence or about to begin, this is a workshop that inspires, informs and can move you and your company forward.
Overview
A visual workplace is a compelling operational imperative, crucial to daily performance, and central to your war on waste, vastly reduced lead times and an accelerated flow. In this workshop, learn how visual devices create a workplace that is self-ordering, self-explaining, self-regulating and self-improving—where what is supposed to happen does happen, on time, every time, day or night, because of visual solutions.
Discover Galsworth's 10-doorway model and see how visual methods (5S-on-steroids, visual standards, visual scheduling, visual controls, visual metrics, visual problem-solving, visual machine and visual leadership) work together to create remarkable bottom-line results and a spirited and engaged work culture.
Drawing from her work in the field and 30+ years of hands-in implementations, Galsworth shares the why, what and how of workplace visuality, including practical, hands-on tools she deploys when she implements. See more than 100 visual solutions and learn the crucial difference between visual performance and visual management. Learn the building blocks of visual thinking and the link between brain function and operational excellence. Examine a case study of a company achieving high-level operational excellence goals through a visual conversion.
