Main types of Visual Management

We have also separated the most commonly used types of visual management in companies so that you can know how best to apply them to your case.

1.Kanban

Kanban

Created as a way to implement the pull production system at Toyota, the kanban is a card that has information about what to produce and in what quantity.

In addition, there are kanbans that are used to transfer materials, authorizing the movement of artifacts from one work center to another.

The use of Kanban, as a visual management tool, is accompanied by several benefits, such as work based on the current operating conditions of the process, knowledge of priorities by all employees, increased production efficiency, waste reduction by reducing inventory, and the elimination of excess production.

2.Dashboard

Dashboard

The dashboard is a great way to adopt visual management, as it makes the results more visual and makes the data easier to understand through a central dashboard.

This dashboard is composed of different types of graphs that show how the organization's performance indicators are performing.

Visual management allied with a dashboard allows for more assertive and effective decision-making, as it provides the necessary knowledge to understand which actions are most appropriate at that given moment.

Moreover, with all the information gathered in one place, time is saved, because at a glance you already have a global view of the organization, which increases productivity and facilitates the integration and internal communication of the entire team.

3.Panels/Frames

Frames

Besides the kanban and the dashboard, we also have the more conventional form of visual management: the good old board!

Besides being a low-cost option, the use of visual management boards works very well and can help the team communicate better.

Using Post-Its is a way to demonstrate a progression in a process, because you can move it through various stages.
