How a 4M Visual Management Board works
So, show your version of an Ishikawa diagram on your 4M Visual Management Board. For instance, like the examples shown here. Above all, use your board to analyse the problem visually. In other words, use a visual inspection process.
Most importantly, identify causes and reasons per M category. In addition, analyse the causes and reasons. As a result, see how to solve problems permanently.
Custom 4M Visual Management Board
Custom make your own practical problem-solving board. So, in addition to showing the 4Ms, choose other categories. For instance, add ‘E’ for Environment.
Likewise, add further problem-solving methods on to your board. For example, the 5 WHY approach.
Most importantly, use our custom options to make your board your own. Furthermore, add further functions using our Board Accessories.
Highly visual
Above all, we help you to show your own problem-solving process. In addition, in a highly visual way. As a result, make your problem-solving process accessible and visible. See also our Practical Problem Solving Boards.

Our Approach
We create visual management boards everyday. As a result we have plenty of experience. We work for organisations in food production, the power industry, national rail, pharmaceuticals, education, healthcare, packaging and distribution.
Our team works with a simple idea or sketch and creates a professionally designed layout. This is then turned into a highly functional visual management board.
We offer customised options because we want to create the perfect board for you. So, here are a few examples. We can add magnetic areas or a dry-wipe finish (for use with whiteboard pens). Furthermore, you can choose Red/Green sliders or R.A.G. (Red, Amber, Green) status dials so you can quickly and visually update your board. These are just a few examples of the ways in which our boards can be tailored to meet your needs. You may also be interested in whiteboard overlays that can be used on top of an existing magnetic board.
