What are some common examples of Continuous Improvement?
KPI Boards
KPI or Key Performance Indicator boards track performance. Furthermore, they increase success because they offer clear visual cues. In addition, they support the progressive or lean environment. This is because they monitor, track and show progress in real time. Likewise, in a highly visual way. Therefore, status of targets are instantly clear and accessible to all. As a result, the team knows how processes are operating right now. Most importantly, they can make informed decisions for best results.

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.
