A key element of creating a Visual Workplace is being able to identify abnormal from normal situations. In this Single Point Lesson team members organized a work cell, identified the items in the work cell and used flags to signal a reorder request to a material handler driving by. Wastes reduced: Transportation, Inventory, Motion and Waiting.

1. Visual Management - Re-Order Point
Multiple inventory part
numbers were stored here
but you wouldn’t know it!
After constantly running out
of packaging and stopping
production, the team rallied
together and came up with a
better way:
 Built a rack to hold 2
rolls of each part
number.
 Added a label for each
 Created flags to signal
to the material handler
when more was
needed.
