The document discusses visual management systems and techniques used to maintain an organized and efficient workplace. It describes how visual management systems provide visual trends of progress against goals and help identify opportunities for improvement. Key aspects of visual management systems include using metrics that are understood by all, have clear improvement targets, and can be tracked by the affected departments on a daily basis. Examples of common business metrics that can be visually tracked include quality, costs, delivery, inventory, customer service levels, productivity, and employee morale. Dashboards are highlighted as an effective visual tool to monitor current performance across these critical areas.
