Visual Factory Management (VFM)
Using Visual Materials In An Industrial Organization

Visual Factory Management is a system for improving productivity, safety, quality, on-time delivery, profits and employee moral by implementing "visual controls."

Inckuding visual controls in your facility makes working areas user friendly by answering questions; identifying equipment, materials and locations; describing actions and proceedures; and providing safety warnings and precaution information. Visual controls help employees avoid wasting time by giving them the information they need, where and when they need it.

Using Visual Factory Management involves proper labeling and signage to create a workplace in which employees have the information they need, understand their role, and contribute in a positive way to the success of your company.

Visual Factory Management is not an expensive management tool nor is it difficult to implement. It involves posting information about the job to be done, the work area (environment), the equipment and materials to be used, safety and job performance.

Visual Factory Management begins with implementing a Five S program:
