Visual Measures
In this module we will discuss:
• Using the data we collect
• Seeing is believing
• Measurement tools
• Effective data display
• BOS Charting
• How to develop meaningful measures
142
VM001
Visual Management
Why do we use measurement data?
• To make more informed
decisions about our
operations
• To keep management
and shop floor
associates informed of
progress
If you are not going to
use data, don’t collect it!
• To drive and fine-tune our
improvement activities
• To educate the plant
community
143
VM001
Visual Management
Seeing is believing !
• Effective analysis requires
effective reporting
• How we report and display
data will affect how we think
about it
I should have
implemented
this idea sooner!
144
VM001
Visual Management
Lasting Impressions
To increase the impact of information:
• Make it sensory; use pictures, charts, sample products, and
audio sounds that involve the audience
• Use examples and comparisons
• Make data speak; keep it visually appealing
• Don’t forget, “Keep it simple”
145
VM001
Visual Management
To make data displays effective...
• Involve users in the measurement
• Provide the results to people who can act on them
• Present results in the most appropriate form for the
audience
• Link results with improvement activities
• Report data immediately; date it; keep it current

To increase information value . . .
• Insure data accuracy
• Put information in graphic
form
• Place it where the work gets
done
• Use it often to track
improvements
• Keep it current
150
VM001

5S CHECKLIST
Instructions: Take a look around the work area and do a visual inspection. As you do the inspection
place a check mark in either the “OK” column or the “NOT OK” column. Then place a numerical
value in the “POINTS” column. Scores should be from 1 to 3, as follows:
1 = non-existent, the team has made no progress in this area.
2 = progressing, work has been done on this but the team lacks the discipline.
3 = implemented, being done on a regular basis.
Please make any necessary comments in the “OBSERVATIONS” column.
CATEGORY ITEM OK NOT OK POINTS OBSERVATIONS
Have unnecessary items been X-tagged?
Are items neatly arranged?
Are walkways/work areas clearly outlined?
Are designated areas marked for incoming
material?
SORT Are materials located in designated areas?
(Organization) Are designated areas marked for outgoing
material?
Is outgoing material located in designated
area?
Are information boards orderly?
Is indicated information found?
Is information current?
Do excess materials have a specific
location?
Are excess materials in their location?
5 S Audit Tools
153
VM001
Visual Management
Is there a visual measure of our
Customer Satisfaction ?
• Collect customer
satisfaction data
• Display it where everyone
sees it
• Keep track of progress
• Highlight special
achievements / awards
154
VM001
Visual Management
Safety First ! Always.
• Make safety records visible
• Perform regular safety audits
• Display lost time injuries /
accidents
• Keep track of where, when,
why, and how accidents occur
155

Visual Management
The Versatile BOS Chart
The BOS Chart can wear
many hats:
• Visual display
• Problem solving tool
• Progress indicator
• Assign responsibilities
156
VM001
Visual Management
Follow these steps to use BOS for
Visual Measures
The best reason to include BOS Charting with measure
displays is because BOS requires action !

VM001
Visual Management
Step 1
Involve users in the measurement
Team members collect data; track numbers:
• Total product produced
• per hour, per shift, per day, per week, etc.
• Average time to produce one unit
• PPM - number of defects
• Scrap - percentage of total produced
• Changeover time
• Downtime / Uptime
159
VM001
Visual Management
Step 2
Team determines what to BOS Chart
• Something needing
improvement
• Team has control
• Important to customer
• Important to our company
160
VM001
Visual Management
Step 3
Team members update BOS
• Use team meeting to study data
• Team plans improvement
activities
• Everyone participates
• Computers not required
161
VM001
Visual Management
Step 4
Make BOS results visible at the Work Unit
162
VM001
Visual Management
To develop Visual Measures
decide . . .
• What needs to be measured ?
• Who is the user / audience ?
• How often do we take the data ?
• Who will do the tracking ?
• How will we display data so that it speaks ?
• Where do we best locate the display ?
163
VM001
Visual Management
Reality Check for Measures
Answer these four questions about the measures you use:
• Are they simple and easy to use?
• Do they change over time?
• Do they provide rapid feedback?
• Do they foster continuous improvement?
164
VM001
Visual ManagementVISUAL DISPLAY & MEASURES AUDIT
1. For each item listed fill in an observation to indicated whether or not the work group is currently working on this.
2. If there are any changes desired please indicate those in the “Desired Changes” column.
3. In the column labeled “Priority” indicate if the change can be implemented in:
1) 36 Hours
2) 5 Days
3) 2 Weeks
4. Fill in any additional items that are observed in the work area and fill in all categories.

The Visually Managed Factory is:
A workplace that is easily understood by all. Anyone could
walk into a work unit and at a ‘glance’ understand the
status of that work unit, what is waste or abnormal, and
where improvements are needed.

Visual Management Quick Setup Guide

Editor's Notes

  1. Improve employee morale and performance through increased ownership and team territory. Identity opportunities and suggestions for how, when and why to implement visual aids. Goals: To empower employees to improve their workplaces To involve employees in improving quality, productivity, and safety To improve communications between all ArvinMeritor employees, across all boundaries To work toward Visual Management of the workplace, achieved through progressive application of each of the separate phases: Workplace Organization, Visual Display, Visual Measures, and Visual Control. To make the work environment more pleasant, jobs easier to manage, and progress more apparent. To give employees a high degree of ownership in what goes on within the Visual Factory
  2. Instruct participants to break into smaller groups to brainstorm what the current situation is like. Instruct them to consider all 5 senses when discussing their workplace. What are some of the real problems? (Problems no one talks about publicly.) What do you dread about going to work? Allow no more than 10 minutes for this exercise. Record all ideas on a flipchart. Ask a member from each group to briefly summarize what was discussed.
  3. Left blank to allow groups time to work.
  4. Implementation of the 4 phases will create a system for Visual Management of the workplace
  5. Let’s think for a minute about how standards make our lives easier. Do standards offer any additional benefits besides those mentioned here? Think about the factor of cost? Can using standards help lower costs too?
  6. How many of you are familiar with the procedure for RED BOX SCRAP ? Is this procedure a STANDARD in your plant? Not only does RED BOX SCRAP create a visual display standard ( I.e. using only a red box to hold manufactured scrap, the procedure is a standard for the way we operate
  7. Each phase of the visual management process is typically best completed in an order that builds upon itself. The first level is Workplace Organization (WPO).
  8. WPO is a vital link to continuous improvement. It would be very difficult to improve and implement lean manufacturing principles such as quick changeover, low inventories, FIFO, JIT, etc. without workplace organization.
  9. The 5S’s are an important part of the WPO process. The S’s are Sort, Stabilize, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain.
  10. Are your areas as well sorted as they should be? Keep only what is needed. Many areas have things such as tools , rags, even brooms sitting around that have not been used in months and probably never will. People are afraid to get rid of these things because they think they may be needed later. Get rid of the things that are not needed. Look for things that are not where they belong. If a tool is used for a machine in another cell isn’t that where it should be. X-tag what you don’t need, that will be discussed in a moment.
  11. Does you facility have any walls or dark corners that have stuff or junk piled up in hopes that it will fix itself or will someday be needed?
  12. This is a non-ArvinMeritor facility that shows some good 5 S-ing. These are tooling storage racks that can be rolled to the point of use. Note the reflections off of the floor. This place is clean. How could it be improved? By labeling or color coding.
  13. X-Tagging is a way to remove things that are not needed or used anymore. 1. The first step is to select someone from the work unit or area to be the leader. This may be a responsibility that is rotated to everyone. 2. Identify what is not needed. 3. Attach a filled out X-tag to the item(s). 4. Move these items to a local holding area near or in the work unit. 5. Determine how long to hold these items before removing them. The minimum should be 24 hours, or long enough that each shift has a chance to decide if that is something that they need. 6. Once the time is up the item(s) should be moved to a facility holding area where items can be removed by anyone who could use that item in the facility. 7. All safety issues and problems should be tagged and addressed as soon as possible.
  14. A good rule of thumb as to where to store stuff is:
  15. This is what an X-tag looks like.
  16. Read slide
  17. This is a locker room in an ArvinMeritor facility in Spain.
  18. Though the picture quality of these is very poor you can still see the incredible difference between the before and after pictures. This also shows that you don’t have to have a new facility to make it look nice.
  19. Here is a very clean ArvinMeritor facility that is located in Spain.
  20. Spain again
  21. Does anyone know what this is? DNA. Is DNA very standardized? This is an extreme example but will hopefully get you think of the importance and the standardization you encounter all of the time.
  22. Here are some of the initial things you will want to consider standardizing.
  23. At the 17th street plant they have utilized the space behind a press and labeled where things should go.
  24. Here some chemicals are labeled and even color coded, not to mention clean.
  25. At Franklin, they have an area where they have written on cardboard what the part# is in that location, they have also included a sample part as well. This may not be the final labeling but is a good start and conveys the needed information.
  26. Read slide
  27. The arrows show the upper and lower limits of this gage. You don’t have to know anything about the process to easily see if this measure is where it should be.
  28. This is a simple shadow board that lets you know what is missing. It is important that everyone cooperates in sustaining.
  29. In review:
  30. Here is a 5S checklist that can be used to help you determine how your area is doing
  31. This is a display sign to visually show how you are doing with 5S.
  32. These supporting strategies are also a part of WPO
  33. The picture shown here is those color coded wooden blocks you would play with as a child. Funny, color coding is such a simple organizational tool that a 3 year old could use it, yet we probably don’t use it enough.
  34. Most facilities separate their different types of scrap.
  35. Here is what the Central Tubing Facility uses for their scrap color coding, also their overhead pipes.
  36. Central Tubing Facility overhead pipes.
  37. Color coded scrap hoppers at Gladstone.
  38. Do you ever feel you are looking for tools like this. Things that should be at the point of use are.
  39. Tools at the point of use
  40. Tooling cart at Gladstone
  41. This is in the work area of a supplier. They keep information they need very accessible.
  42. No one should ever get hurt on the job. Our goal is ZERO ACCIDENTS!!
  43. Some of our work units are arranged this way. Is safety a concern if a machine or hydraulic line would break. Would people be able to get out of the way.
  44. It looks very difficult to get to this eyewash station
  45. The groups will be reporting what items they have x-tagged using this sheet
  46. The groups also need to complete their 5S checklist and report the results.
  47. Fill in the number of 5S points needing attention and this will be posted in the work area.
  48. Visual Display communicates information about: The work Environment Safety Operations Storage Quality Equipment Success
  49. This example from AE Pamplona, Spain shows floor labeling used to set limits. What are the advantages to using this level of labeling? How does floor labeling help us maintain Visual Management?
  50. Sometimes we get so familiar with something we fail to see the obvious. For example if you went into the store picked up a carton of eggs, opened it as you always do, and check to see that none were broken. Would you have notices that there were two eggs missing. You probably would have. But, what if there were only 10 spaces for the eggs, would you have noticed that there were only 10 then.
  51. Can easily see what is missing if there is an open space for it.
  52. Another example from Steel and Trucks, Queretaro, Mexico. This component parts supplier has implemented visual display for items used frequently by the operator at the work unit. What advantages do you see in this type of display?
  53. CTF boundary board.
  54. The display board of each work unit should include their 20 Keys with performance levels and goals marked. Remember, work unit goals should be realistic and focus on the most important issues. The goals will probably not include improvement in all 20 Keys.
  55. The Site 20 Keys showing current status and goals should be displayed on the facility information board.
  56. Information boards should be as near the work areas as possible.
  57. Tell story of small office manager who threw rolls of quarters all over floor to illustrate office waste.
  58. What did the earlier slides mean by status
  59. All of these areas can benefit from visual management.
  60. Though you may not know Japanese this board is still easily understood.
  61. Here is a simple check list that was used in the GM visual factory test work unit. It is very simple and easily visible as to what they have accomplished.
  62. Here is a picture of an andon light from Chickasha. Why would something like this be of value to your work unit?
  63. Here are some simple counters used to track defects. Though not vary large and visible they do keep a running count of the defects and are easily accessible.
  64. Here are some very visible and standardized production counters and andon boards from a Mexico facility.
  65. The balance boards are visual tools that help use to balance the workload within a work unit, and visually see areas that need attention or can be improved upon (the color coded walk and wait times).
  66. Why may may we need to know who is trained in a particular job.
  67. Here is the red box scrap at Kayaba in Spain.
  68. What could you use control ranges on?
