VISUAL CONTROL
Introduction
Basic Philosophy
1. Visual elements in a workplace have a tremendous impact on education, morale, and productivity.
2. A visually dynamic workplace energizes employees, builds pride and ownership, and conveys the strength and currency of the organization.
3. Design and graphics, art and color, sculpture and dimension– all have profound effects.
4. Far from simply “prettying up the office,” they create an environment of visual stimuli that convey goals and expectations, that foster a collaborative attitude, and most important, that cannot be ignored!

VISUAL CONTROL
Introduction What is Visual control ?
“ One picture is worth a thousand words ”
Visual control are means, devices, or mechanisms that were designed to manage or control our operations (processes) so as to meet the following purposes:1. Make the problems, abnormalities, or deviation from
standards visible to everyone and thus corrective action can be taken immediately (Identification).
2. Display the operating or progress status in a easy to see format (Informative).
3. Provide instruction (Instructional).4. Helps formulate and proliferate plans (Planning).Thus all visual control devices can be classified as one of ‘3I1P’. (Three I’s and 1 p)
