A Way to Improve Quality & Productivity
I think this easy to read book is a must for all the industry sectors. It illustrates visual management (or visual communication; VC) as a very important issue to boosting the factorys' or companys' productivity through increasing the effectiveness of the employees' from head management to the shop floor workers by the effective sharing of information and by encouraging the workers to participate in developing these information. In addition; VC helps in building a sense of belonging to the factory or company within the workers themselves which will work in the factory (company) best interest. The book introduces guide lines for applying the VC. I think that the real cases covered along with the many different graphs and pictures really helped in clearing out many points.

I own 33 copies and use it as a text for day-long workshops.
This is a very readable and credible work. Chapter six on visual process indicators is my favorite. It was an a-ha moment for me!! Similar Products
