Jim Roberts, Product manager at Beaverswood, considers ‘the benefits of adopting a common-sense approach to workplace tool management and organisation’.
High levels of safety, security, and organisation, have to be paramount when it comes to the working environment, and meeting the demand for shadow and impactful visual communication boards as companies strive for 5S compliance and lean operations in the workplace will contribute significantly to ensuring this. Any effective workplace, from an office to the factory shopfloor, from the warehouse and logistics centre to high street store, benefits from a reliance on visual cues and communication to operate efficiently and safely
The advantages of ‘visual’ workplaces can drive heightened levels of quality, productivity, safety, and employee morale. Moreover, visual aids subliminally feed people with the information that they need – by answering questions, identifying equipment, and describing procedures. They also provide important safety information, and that is one reason why we are seeing increasing numbers of organisations implementing their 5S programmes.
