How it all Works

Visual Management	This involves identifying the appropriate parts of the process or work area that will have visual controls and identifying the key performance indicators which are to be displayed in the work area.
Flow Process Analysis	We use the principles and procedures of flow process analysis within a given work area to produce a flow process analysis sheet. We identify and categorise elements of waste, and problems or conditions within the process and make recommendations where improvements can be made. You will use the information gathered to evaluate and prioritise the opportunities for improvements.

You will list the preparations required from start to finish, the quality and safety standards to be maintained, the drawings, tooling, fixtures, gauges, and other items that are used during the operation or process.
Set Up Reduction Techniques	It involves carrying out the principles and processes of set-up reduction on a machine or process set-up, a change over, a clean down or turnaround, an activity that is a bottleneck or a constraint that affects the process such as capacity, flexibility, lead time, inventory or other business performance measure.
