This Week's Episode
Visual Machine/Visual Lubrication
   
Did you know: 70% to 80% of all machine failures are due to lubrication problems? Chief among the many reasons is: People don't realize lubrication is the cause or there is something they can do about it. Did you also know that the most common response to a lubrication problem is to add more--even though over-lubrication is one of the six BIG lube mistakes? The result? Machine downtime, lost production, bad quality-and often wrecked machines. 

      

This HazMat cabinet is a symphony of visual workplace principles & practices. Can you name 5 of them?

At last! A book that teaches how to go beyond 5S and train, implement, coach, support, and sustain visual inventiveness on the operator-level. This is a must-read for all levels of the organization. Based on nearly 30 years in the field, author Gwendolyn Galsworth, foremost authority on workplace visuality, provides value-add associates with a methodology and hundreds of full-color actual visual solutions for converting their own work areas into visual workplaces. The result? Visuality becomes the imbedded language of operational excellence-and the workplace speaks. Across eleven chapters and over 500 full-color examples and charts, you will learn a clear and complete step-by-step protocol for transforming organizations into well-functioning visual workplaces-and operators into visual thinkers of the first order. If there is one book to buy to advance your excellence journey, Work That Makes Sense is it.
