See how visual management delivers Quality with these ideas…
1)Firstly, use visual management to make quality objectives visible. Above all, at a glance
For example, quality stations make a checkpoint for quality standards. Most importantly, they show what good looks like and how to achieve it. Furthermore, quality objectives are on hand for instant reference. Likewise, at a glance. In short, give your team a touch stone for quality.
2) Daily tracking – a further way for how visual management delivery Quality
Daily tracking Quality (and other objectives) builds and sustains best habits. Most importantly, in a visual way. Therefore, visual daily tracking builds performance by making results visible everyday. As a result, see results daily. Furthermore, make iterative gains daily that build performance. Furthermore, sustain best habits in a meaningful way. Finally, support your Gemba Walk and overall Continuous Improvement in a visually accessible way.
3) Reflect quality objectives that matter at your site
In other words, make your own visual management outputs. Firstly, for example, show your specific quality objectives. Consequently, visual management displays show exactly what you need. Secondly, choose how your display will work. As a result, for instance, add status indicators. Likewise, choose other accessories. For example, document holders to hold reference information.
In addition, choose from a range of finish options. Make your quality checkpoint, a visual management board. On the other hand, make it into a fully fledged visual management hub. You may also like the idea of establishing a quality temple (see pics). Whatever your vision for making quality standards visible, pursue it.
4) Use best quality visual management. This is ultimately how visual management delivers Quality
In short, use both pictures and words to best effect. As a result, make your own quality rules clear. Therefore, make quality standards quick and easy to understand. In addition, connect quality and performance. Also, use visual status indicators for instant visibility. As a result, make your team work together to achieve your quality standards.
5) Decide where to use visual management for quality objectives
In short, you choose where to put your quality station. Consequently, we then custom make your station to fit. The only need is that it is close to your process. If your quality standards relate to production then put them near the production line. Similarly, if they relate to locker standards then put them in spaces near your lockers. Ultimately, know that wherever you choose, we can custom make and size a visual management solution for you.
6) Think site wide visual management for quality objectives
Introduce quality stations at numerous checkpoints throughout your site. Above all, this works to achieve site wide quality standards. In short, think of visual management as the driver of a culture of quality. That is to say, a visual shorthand for making Quality objectives visible, bite size and achievable at every turn.

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.
