VISUAL CONTROL
 What is visual control?
Visual control is the
principle of increasing
efficiency and effectiveness
simply by deliberately
making things visible.
When things are visible,
they are kept in conscious
mind. It also serves to
ensure that everyone has a
common viewpoint of what
is being displayed.
 Types of visual contols

INDICATOR

SIGNAL

CONTROL
 INDICATOR

POWER LEVEL: Low

DESCRIPTION:
An indicator only provides information about the
immediate environment or situation. Indicators are
passive and people may not notice them or respond to
them.
EXAMPLES OF INDICATORS
STREET SIGNALS LEVEL INDICATORS

AUTO FUEL GAUGE AISLE MARKINGS

 SIGNAL
POWER LEVEL: medium

DESCRIPTION:
Signals grab our attention with visual (or
audible) alarms. People may still choose to
ignore signals but they usually perceive them. 
EXAMPLES OF SIGNALS
TRAFFIC LIGHTS AIRCRAFT STALL WARNING
 CONTROL

POWER LEVEL: High

DESCRIPTION:
Controls limit behavior through strong visual
messages or physical restrictions as an action
takes place.
EXAMPLES OF CONTROL
TRAFFIC GATES
 Benefits of visual control
Correct the problems

Reduce manufacturing costs and possible waste

Shorten production lead time and thus keep the delivery due date

Reduce inventory

Ensure a safe and comfortable working environment

Increase company's profit

 How to implement visual control

Organize
 a program committee.
 
Develop a plan and budget.
 
Collect and develop examples and cases of problems or accidents.
 
Publicly announce the start of the program to your company.
 
Provide training and education to employees.
 
Select a day and have everybody apply visual control in his/her own working area.
 
Evaluate the results of visual control

Self-Examination and take corrective actions.

Two types of visual control implementation

ACTUAL

ANALOG
 ACTUAL
Examples of actual items
that can be implemented
through visual control are
items that are designed to
designate a
location/position for each
item, indicate quantity
including inventory levels,
distinguish items from each
other and specify form.
 ANALOG
Analog items that can
be implemented through
visual control are seen
in the following
examples: colors,
shapes, symbols,
characters, numbers,
graphs, electronic
lights, sound, touch,
smell, taste etc
ELEMENTS OF 5 S
Some Common Visual Applications
Color-coded pipes and wires

Painted floor areas for good stock, scrap, trash etc

Shadow boards for parts and tools

Indicator lights

Production status boards

Directions of flow indicators

Real time example- Pull board
 CONCLUSION
Better implementation of other procedures that
are too tedious and complicated to understand.

Helps enhance innovative process.

It allows them to better enhance the overall

efficiency of the company.
