The answer for how to create a visual workplace is, in short, use visual management. In other words, custom make visuals that make your processes visible. Therefore, provide instant access to most relevant information. In addition, clearly define objectives. Finally, provide real-time status of targets.
Above all, ensure everyone can see how processes are operating right. Consequently, help them make the very best decisions possible for moving forward.
Visual management achieves all of these elements of creating a visual workplace. Furthermore, in a number of ways. Read on to see examples…
How to create a visual workplace to solve problems
Use the visual information at your fingertips to resolve problems. Learn from the real time visual data on your board. Similarly, work through issues as a team because everyone has instant access to the same information. In addition, share countermeasures. Finally, make smart decisions. See further ideas like Problem Follow Up (PFU) Boards. Similarly, see Practical Problem Solving (PPS) boards.
How to create a visual workplace to support your rigorous approach
Translate your rigorous approach on to your visuals. Most importantly, break your process down in a visual and self-explanatory way. So, for example, if your approach is to order your workspace using the 5S strategy, then show this five-step process. Furthermore, make it clear to everyone in a visible way. In other words, create your own 5S board to support all your team achieve this shared goal.

Visual management supports self-improving workspaces. Above all it makes targets – and the status of those targets – immediately visible. Most importantly, custom make your visual management board and show your targets. Likewise, add status indicators for instant visual reference. Similarly, choose dry wipe or magnetic labels so data is quick and easy to update. Most importantly, because this feeds the Continuous Improvement cycle. Firstly, set the target. Secondly, meet the target. Finally, update the target. Then repeat and make continuous progress…

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.
