Visual Management Training – Visual Management Workshops

Visual management is a modern method that supports the efficiency and transparency of processes within an organization. Thanks to the use of visual tools such as boards, indicators, and diagrams, it is possible to quickly identify problems, monitor progress, and make sound decisions in real time.

Workshops on visualizing information are an excellent opportunity to learn practical tools and techniques that support everyday work within an organization. Participants gain knowledge about creating indicators, visual boards, and effective performance reporting. This makes it possible to:

  • Monitor processes more effectively.
  • Detect deviations from the norm faster.
  • Implement management support systems.
  • Build a culture of continuous improvement.

After the training, participants will be able to:

  • Define the needs for visual management.
  • Create effective reporting systems.
  • Identify problems in processes.
  • Utilize tools that support management.
  • Integrate different tools into a cohesive system.

The training is aimed at:

  • Management staff (production managers, team leaders).
  • Production process specialists (process engineers, technologists).
  • Health and safety personnel.
  • Production employees (operators, set-up technicians).

The training lasts for 1 day (8 hours) and covers both theoretical and practical aspects of visual management, which help in better organizing processes and managing work more efficiently.
