Visual Workplace/Visual Thinking (VWVT) was written by the acknowledged leading expert in workplace visuality. While other books touch upon visual workplace tools and practices, no other author has addressed the topic with the clarity and depth presented here. This is a seminal book, considered by many the definition of the field itself. First published by a small, independent press in 2005, the book won the prestigious Shingo Research Prize in the same year.It was then and remains the only book of its kind that describes the conceptual and practical foundation for workplace visuality, derived from dozens of handson implementations in some of the worlds best or most challenging companies. Written not by an academic, but by a handson practitioner who has worked for three decades with companies in various phases of visual transformation, the work carries the reader from the usual starting point of 5S through to the full power of the visuallean alliance.The books 11 chapters are in four sections. The first defines the visual workplace in relation to operational excellence, along with the eight building blocks of visual thinking. The next section, which targets the cultural conversion, is unexpectedly thrilling as it describes the genuine transformation of both company and employee which is at the heart of every visual conversion. Section 3 maps the logic and sequence of Dr. Galsworths 10Doorway template as you learn about the visual side of 5S, visual standards, visual scheduling, visual material control, visual metrics, visual problemsolving, visual leadership as well as the visual machine and visualleanoffice.The final section of VTVW places visual management within the visual continuum, shows you how to use the ten doorways to assess your own company, and concludes with a discussion of the visuallean alliance, illustrated through a conversion case study.With over 25 fullcolor albums of visual solutions, 50+ graphs and charts, a detailed table of contents and indepth Index, this 277page book positions the technologies of the visual workplace as a premier improvement strategy on every companys journey to operational excellence.
