Using pictures adds clarity to your standards
How Visual Standards boards work
In short, a visual standards board shows your standards in a way that’s immediately clear.
Here’s more on how they work. Most importantly, show what good looks like. In other words, set your standards visually. Therefore, show what good looks like using pictures. Likewise, say what good is using words. Make your own quality rules clear. We support you to use both pictures and words to best effect. Above all, we help you make your visual standards quick and easy to understand.
Ideas for Visual Standards boards
Firstly, and above all, show what good looks like. Secondly, however, explain what bad looks like. In other words, show what defects look like. Likewise, explain how to avoid them. Finally, use colour coding to help. Choose whatever colour options you like. Remember, however, how instantly clear Red/Amber/Green (RAG) systems are. Therefore, for example, add RAG status dials. On the other hand, use green text to show what good looks like. Similarly, use red text to show defects to avoid.

Visual Standards boards for food production
Choose where to put your board. The only need is that it is close to your process. For example, if your visual standards relate to production then put them near the production line. Firstly, show best standards. Likewise, show bad standards. In addition, show what next steps to take. Furthermore, displaying standards visually means clarity of processes.

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.
