VISUAL CONTROL MANAGEMENT<br />
RATIONALE<br />
Visual Control are means, devices, or mechanisms that are designed<br />
to manage or control the operations (processes) so as to meet the<br />
following purposes:<br />
• Make the problems, abnormalities, or deviation from standards<br />
visible to everyone and thus corrective action can be taken<br />
immediately,<br />
• Display the operating or progress status in an easy to see format<br />
• Provide instruction<br />
• Convey information<br />
• Provide immediate feedback to people<br />
Therefore it is the principle of increasing efficiency and effectiveness<br />
simply by deliberately making things visible. When things are visible,<br />
they are kept in conscious mind. It also serves to ensure that everyone<br />
has a common viewpoint of what is being displayed. Visual Control (VC)<br />
is known in several other terms, visibility management, management<br />
by visibility, and management by sight.<br />
OBJECTIVES<br />
At the end of the programme, the participants should be able to:<br />
• Increase the efficiency and effectiveness of a process by making the<br />
steps in that process more visible.<br />
• Understand that the theory behind visual control is that if something<br />
is clearly visible or in plain sight, it is easy to remember and keep at<br />
the forefront of the mind .
