Effectively implemented, visuality creates a workplace that is self-ordering, self-explaining, self-regulating, and self-improving—where what is supposed to happen does happen, on time, every time, day or night, because of visual solutions. Whether your company is a factory, hospital, agency, military depot or open-pit mine, the technologies of the visual workplace embeds your operational outcomes, visually, into the living landscape of your company and makes them sustainable.
