What Is A Visual Workplace?

A new set of web sites (the owner's call them a web site suite) aimed at lean manufacturing topics has just come online. They are based on the concept of the visual workplace.

What is a visual workplace?

A visual workplace has to do with having everything in the workplace marked and labeled such that a new employee can find something as easily as an experienced employee. This does not mean that there is a label on EVERYTHING. What it does mean is that needed information is provided right at the point of need, usually by using a label or sign.

Three subdomains are a part of the www.LabelPrinter.com "web site suite". They each focus on a specific lean manufacturing method: kaizen, 5S and kanban. Coverage of additional lean methods is promised for the future.
