About the Event

Visual Factories are more productive and safer environments to work in.

A Visual Factory:

• Aids and improves decision making by leaders and managers
• Focuses and aligns personnel on the important issues
• Minimises lost time in wasteful activities
• Supports continuous improvement across the organisation
• Improves safety – occupational safety as well as process safety
• Builds pride, ownership and professionalism
• Builds trust with stakeholders

Visual Management tools and techniques as part of Lean Manufacturing originate in the automotive sector. There is not always a direct read across into the process industries. Haden Freeman C.I. have nearly a quarter of a century heritage adapting and implementing Lean in the process industries, so delegates will benefit from being taught by people with this knowledge and experience.

This course will cover a range of tools and techniques that typically fall under the banner of Visual Factory.
