Custom make your own visual management progress board. For example, like the one in this case study. Most importantly, show current progress in a visual way. Therefore, work with relevant, real time information. Furthermore, see how this board was built using magnetic components. In other words, step by step…
In brief, this visual management progress board actually has more than one purpose. Firstly, to make progress visual for a range of targets. Secondly, to manage the housekeeping rota in a visible way. Finally, to share announcements and meetings. This is the benefit of custom making your own visual management boards. To clarify, show whatever is most relevant and useful for your processes.
Client: Abcam
Industry: Research and Development
Brief: Abcam appointed My Visual Management to custom make a visual management progress board. In addition, to custom size it to fit a specific space. Furthermore, for the board work in a number of ways. Firstly, to make progress visual. Secondly, to manage housekeeping in a visible and straightforward way. In addition, to share announcements. Meanwhile, to be quick and easy to update. Finally, for every element to peel on and off.
More about this Visual Management Progress Board
This progress board meets all required criteria. Further details about each point follow below…
Reflect the brand
Firstly, make the visual management progress board consistent with the organisation’s branding. Therefore, the final boards reflect Abcam’s brand colours and logo.
Multifunctional progress board
The custom size board has five main sections. Firstly, to show the current progress for a range of targets. Each one has a RAG (Red, Amber, Green) status dial for quick visual reference. Furthermore, capacity to make further updates relating to each target. In other words, to show step by step progress. For example, Quality Control. Likewise, to mark when a task is Complete. Therefore, the whole board – including this section – is dry wipe so adding notes or updates is easy.
Both this section, and the next House Keeping Rota section have magnetic labels. These are easy to move or reorder.
In addition, the final column includes document holders. These hold, for example, announcements or further documentation relating to the rota.
Future proof visual management progress board
Interestingly, every element of this board peels on and off. In other words, every component is magnetic. For example, the status indicators are magnetic. Similarly, so is the main heading. Likewise, each sub section is a magnetic overlay. This gives complete flexibility now and for the future. This is because every component can be moved or swapped. In addition, the entire board can be reconfigured.
Step 1: the custom magnetic backing board
Step 2: add custom magnetic overlays
Step 3: add custom magnetic labels
Step 4: add custom magnetic status dials
Step 5: add custom magnetic document holders
Step 6: the complete board. Most importantly, every component can change
Ideas for functional accessories when implementing Visual Management
Magnetic status dials
Attaches to any magnetic surface. Widely used on our visual management boards. Gives instant Red Amber Green (RAG) status. Makes a target’s status immediately visible. Add custom text or labels to your status dial. Likewise, choose custom colours. Most importantly, highly visual and effective. Works for any board that tracks targets. For example, KPI boards and SQDC boards.
Magnetic status sliders
Attaches to any board or magnetic sign. Gives instant Red or Green status. Makes a target’s status immediately visible. Fits in a smaller space than status dials. Works brilliantly for showing many targets on one board. Choose custom colours. Most importantly, highly visual and effective. Works for any board that tracks targets. For example, KPI boards and SQDC boards. See further examples.
Magnetic status
labels
Magnetically attaches to any board. Assign Red (sad) or Green (happy) status. Labels work because they deliver clarity. Choose double-sided status labels with red status on one side, green on the other. Add custom text. For instance, label reads “done” and “to do”. Choose custom colours. Highly visual and effective. Works for any board that tracks targets. See further examples.
Magnetic number sets
Magnetically attaches to any board. Choose magnetic labels to add numerical data to your board. Likewise, maintain a sequential order using number sets. Similarly, update numbers relating to targets, showing instant updates. Above all, these magnetic labels make your board numerically active. See a further example in action.
Magnetic headings
Magnetically attaches to any board. Brilliant to change headings. For example, change the year on an annual holiday planner board. Above all, changeable headings give flexibility. In other words, choose and change any headings you want. Swap, add or remove them as you need. See further examples.
Magnetic colour coding
Attaches to any magnetic board or surface. Perfect for colour coding. For example, to segregate equipment and order your workplace. Above all, changeable colour coding labels give flexibility. Choose and change any label you want. Swap, add or remove them as you need. Choose double sided options. See further examples.
Magnetic
labels
Magnetically attaches to any board or sign. Therefore, ideal for adding updates. For example, add notes to your board. Choose pre-printed or dry wipe options. Available in custom sizes, shapes and colours. Above all, changeable labels give flexibility. In other words, choose and change any labels you want. Swap, add or remove them as you need. See further examples.
Magnetic document holders – single sheets
Magnetic document holders display frames for single sheets. We offer various sizes. Firstly, for instance, standard A3, A4, A5 and A6. Secondly, custom size. These are splash resistant with transparent fronts. Most importantly, protect documents and keep your board neat. Above all, documents are quick and easy to change. See further examples.
Magnetic
overlay
Give your board multiple options with magnetic overlays. Change the face of your board when you need. Use different board faces on rotation. On the other hand, use an overlay to turn an existing magnetic whiteboard into a functioning visual management display. That is to say, keep your whiteboard and have a visual management display face for it too.
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.
