Visual Workplace Radio: Let The Workplace Speak

Operators who implement the Visual Where (5S) to their level of need often believe that the company is 90% through its journey to a fully-functioning visual workplace. Instead, fully-implemented, the Visual Where can only ever represent 25%-35% of the final outcome. Nonetheless, the formula of Border + Address + ID Label for everything that casts a shadow represents the indispensable first step of that journey. In this week’s show, Gwendolyn Galsworth, your host and visual workplace expert, reminds you of the purpose, power, and function of borders. Then she walks you through rules, tips, and innovations associated with applying addresses. Learn to drill still deeper by applying that formula to small clusters of linked function that Galsworth calls Visual Mini-Systems. Tune in and hear, as well, training tips to help you create 5S outcomes that ignite and inspire value-add associates while directly impacting the bottom line. Your call-in comments, stories, and questions are welcomed.
