Visual Management - Production Scheduling Board

[Stijloor]

Hi,

Good examples of visualisation on the shopfloor can be found on a dutch website : tnpvisualsolutions.nl

On this website you can even play with a visualisation creator.
You will find examples of 5S, action board, policy deployment board,
safety boards etc ...

Good luck

Are you associated with this organization?

We are currently implementing a software that offers us just this type of functionality.

As we start to use it, I will update you. So far it looks great - when we start barcode labour reporting it will be "real-time" updating of work orders. The "white-board" module is updated overnight and at noon each day (takes about 2 minutes in our environment).

It actually uses colours to tell us where we are on that job and whether the person is meeting times with full "drill down" capabilities right down to the operation of the order.

I am not affiliated with the program but to keep this conversation related to the "white-board" I will not mention it directly in the forum. PM me if you wish to know the software. Btw, it is a full ERP that happens to have this functionality.

I came across this discussion and thought I could provide some relevant information to whoever is looking for visual management systems.

Go to ehow.com and search for - How to manage your job starts using Magnetic Boards
You will find an article that describes step-by-step how to set up a visual management system.

Go to totallyproductivegroup website and click on services-->Process Control. You will find info about how Process Control. More importantly, you have a picture of production scheduling boards.

If you need more detailed pictures, I can send them. PM me.

This is an article that discusses visual control systems and why they are necessary even in this digital age:
In the same website above (totallyproductivegroup), you will find newsletter posts. Look for Visual control systems and systematic solutions.

If you would like to finally buy any of these supplies, you can go to the online store Megazega.

Some of the people have suggested using magnetic symbols, stickers etc. You can find a lot of the supplies at that store.

Hope it helps.
