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 .
