Notes de l'éditeur
Welcome to our Gauge Marking Webinar. We will be having questions at the end of the presentation and will also email a copy of this presentation to each attendee. Our goal today is to introduce a product that will provide you with information at a glance. This type of information originates from a visual controls. Visual Controls are key to creating real-time feedback and are also an important component of Continuous Improvement and reducing waste.
Visual controls are used as navigational tools that expose problems. Here is an examples of such a control. These tools were previously stored in very chaotic manner. There was no such thing as order. After a kaizen event the team organized the tools with tool shadows and removed all duplicates saving space and time spent searching. However, they did not anticipate one thing….
When tools were returned to the cabinet there was tendency to put the on the top of the cabinet instead in their proper place. To deter this from happening they created a triangular sign that prohibited placing tools on the top. They really did not need a sign here but it helped strengthen this visual control even more.
Organizations that are not visual and that do not provide real-time feedback are comparable to someone trying to bowl and not being able to see the pins in the bowling alley. It is obvious that we make better decisions the more information we have. That is where visual controls come into play.
Visual controls can have many looks. Don’t you wish you could use this for your teenage drivers.
Now that we have defined a visual control we will show a product that is used to create them. VWP offers a product called Gauge Mark. It is transparent adhesive film that can applied to gauges to display acceptable tolerances. This vinyl film is available in red, yellow and green that allows you communicate a normal or abnormal situation at a glance. It comes in 12x16” sheets and can be cut by hand or on our sign shop plotter.

Gauge Mark is a product that can be customized for use with thermometer and pressure gauges, go/no-gauges, oil level indicators and other inspection tools that are used for measuring and controlling processes. Because it is available in multiple colors you can emphasize the importance of certain data with color.
Gauge Mark Can be applied to most smooth surfaces.The transparency of the material can best be seen when it is applied to glass or acrylic but can be used with other materials as needed. In this example we used acrylic to create a visual control that indicates a reorder point for bubble wrap.
No more questions about when it is time to reorder. This type of gauge can be created for just about any roll stock.
In this example a ruler was created to indicate the minimum quantity for reordering. They went one step further and included a Kanban card with a message that it was on order eliminating any questions.
Gauge Mark can be cut easily and quickly using our sign shop or scissors.
That’s all it takes! If you want to add another color than you repeat the same process.
This concludes our webinar. We will have questions in just a moment but want to leave you with a few ideas for continuous learning.
We have been very fortunate that our customers share many of their ideas with us. So in return we have decided to share them you using the social sites. Please feel free to look around and if you have something you would like us to share please don’t hesitate to contact us.
In an effort to help organizations share more information with each other internally we have developed a website dedicated specifically for this purpose. We create a custom website with a user name and password for the entire organization to use. You can uploads templates, pictures and files. If you are interested in a demo please contact us.
Thank you for your time today. We hope we were able to share some information that will be useful in your workplace. The presentation will be emailed to you through WEBEX. If you don’t receive it please contact us. Are there any questions?
