How Visual Management Tools Start & Sustain Improvement

Visual management tools surround us. Although they are so ubiquitous, we might not even think about them. For example, when your car is about to run out of gas, a light will alert you to the problem. Your fitness app may even show you how close you are to your daily goal. Your brain can quickly process these easy-to-understand visual clues and use the information to make decisions.

The Lean business approach takes advantage of this fact and leverages several powerful tools for management and improvement. You don't have to be all in on Lean to take advantage of them. Any organization striving for continuous improvement can benefit.
