An If Down, Do board supports your 5S habit. Here is how…

It reinforces standard cleaning procedures, making everyone responsible for a clean as you go policy.

It means everything i#remains hygienic and clean. Furthermore, equipment is in good working order.

In short, set clear guidelines.

They help to incorporate the principles of 5S into daily practice. In addition, embedding best habits as part of a workplace’s culture.

Make your board mobile

Wheel your whiteboard with ease because of its manoeuvrability. If you are implementing a 5S strategy, for example, then this comes in handy. In a large warehouse setting, for instance, move the board so it is close to the area you’re working on.

Firstly, make a mobile whiteboard to the exact size you need. Secondly, choose which material it is made for. Most importantly, this even includes a stainless steel option. Above all, this rust free option is perfect for food safe settings. Finally, choose what you display on your mobile board. All our whiteboards work with our magnetic overlays too.

How If Down, Do Boards support best practice

Share best practices and guidelines on your board. As a result, make standard cleaning procedures and expectations clear, for the whole team.

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.
