Often times the approach is to demonstrate how one method or another is important and how the application of that method will help the person you&#8217;re trying to persuade. Almost always, education is required and teaching must be done while you demonstrate the benefits. So, today, I&#8217;m going to attempt to persuade you to give Visual Management a shot.<\/p>\n\n<h2>What is Visual Management?<\/h2>\n<p>Visual Management defined is as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Visual Management provide real-time information on work place status by a combination of simple, effective visual information aids that allow employees to understand their influence on the organization overall performance hence allowing the employees to improve their performance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>How might you benefit from the application of Visual Management? Here are some ways:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Expose waste so that it can be eliminated and prevented from recurring making the workplace more efficient.<\/li>\n<li>Make abnormalities in the 4Ms (Man, Machine, Material, Method) process inputs visible to everyone for prompt corrective action.<\/li>\n<li>Enable trends in Quality, Safety, Delivery, Cost (QSDC) &amp; abnormalities to be visible for timely preventive action to be taken.<\/li>\n<li>Motivates everybody to improve by clarifying key performance targets.<\/li>\n<li>Makes operation standards quicker and easier to understand by all employees so they can follow them.<\/li>\n<li>Builds participation through shared information.<\/li>\n<li>Creates flow in the value stream and allows pull to the voice of the customer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>In general, below are the 9 areas of Visual Management in business:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10144 aligncenter\" title=\"9-areas-of-visual-management\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.opexlearning.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/9-areas-of-visual-management.jpg\" alt=\"visual management applications in operations\" width=\"603\" height=\"482\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.opexlearning.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/9-areas-of-visual-management.jpg 603w, https:\/\/staging.opexlearning.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/9-areas-of-visual-management-600x480.jpg 600w, https:\/\/staging.opexlearning.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/9-areas-of-visual-management-300x239.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 603px) 100vw, 603px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, some of the most effective applications I&#8217;ve seen of Visual Management are not in business or operations; they are in the classroom.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s one very simple but effective application of Visual Management to remove clutter in the classroom, but also to alert the teacher on the status of <a title=\"birthday board\" href=\"http:\/\/poppiesatplay.blogspot.com\/2010\/05\/lil-people-birthday-chart.html\">children&#8217;s birthday<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10145 aligncenter\" title=\"birthday-display-visual-management\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.opexlearning.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/birthday-display-visual-management.jpg\" alt=\"birthday chart visual management\" width=\"267\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.opexlearning.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/birthday-display-visual-management.jpg 267w, https:\/\/staging.opexlearning.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/birthday-display-visual-management-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 267px) 100vw, 267px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A simple birthday display board is incredibly helpful for a teacher and is simple, effective, and achieves the outcome for its design: to alert the teacher on which kids have a birthday that month.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s your experience on Visual Management?
