This document describes an innovative low-cost visual performance management software that collects shop floor data quickly and provides feedback on production efficiency. It allows for electronic storage of documents to track key performance indicators and production metrics in real-time on overhead screens. The software is designed to keep implementation costs low and can be accessed via tablets on the factory floor or in boardrooms for live production information and issue highlighting.

2.  Having worked in many multi nationals
(DuPont , Alere and CHEP) we have
seen and been involved in the
deployment of lean that involves many
paperwork systems / paperwork
displays and data capture via excel
spread sheets
 Visual performance management is one
of the key areas of LEAN manufacturing
You can’t improve if you don’t measure, how will
you know if you are winning and losing
