“…Finally, on section 5, the main conclusions are outlined. Womack and Jones (1996) defined five principles that underpin the Lean Production concept: (i) creation of value; (ii) identification of the value stream; (iii) continuous production flow; (iv) implementation of a pull system; and (v) pursue of perfection. All those principles push forward the fundamental need for waste elimination and continuous improvement.…”

“…All those principles push forward the fundamental need for waste elimination and continuous improvement. The concept of shop floor waste (muda in Japanese) is defined as any activity that does not add-up to the products' value, and for that reason is very unlikely that the customer is willing to pay for it (Ohno, 1988;Shingo, 1989;Womack & Jones 1996). All forms of waste intrinsically relate to the concept of value, therefore in order to recognize the occurrence of wastes it is fundamental to identify and separate the activities that add value from those that do not.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to compare the well-known value stream mapping (VSM) with a recent tool named waste identification diagram (WID), regarding the capacity of information representation and easiness of interpretation. Design/methodology/approach The work begins with a brief literature review comparing the main tools for representation of production units, with special emphasis on VSM and WID, in terms of ability to identify several types of waste. Then, the authors developed the VSM and the WID of a specific production unit and after that several groups composed by students of Industrial Engineering (IE) and/or professionals from industry were asked to analyse/interpret only one of these diagrams. Finally, a questionnaire with closed and open questions was applied to the groups to evaluate the analysed tool. Findings In general, the results revealed that WID is more effective than VSM and participants recognized that most of the WID elements are relevant. Specifically, a measure coined overall effectiveness was applied (based on the response time and percentage of correct interpretations), indicating a clear advantage of WID (22 per cent of correct interpretations per minute) compared to VSM (9 per cent of correct interpretations per minute). The main drawback pointed to the WID is the lack of representation of the information flow. Originality/value This work contributes to the IE field by revealing WID as a new promising graphical tool for representation of production units, especially in terms of identification/quantification of wastes. The tool was quantitative and qualitatively evaluated by persons both from academia and industry.

Este artículo aborda el modo en que las ideas del Lean Management han generado cambios en la organización del trabajo y propiciado la emergencia de nuevas herramientas de control. Examinar el funcionamiento de estas formas de gestión requiere considerar las dimensiones técnica y social del trabajo en la medida que su éxito se explicaría porque confían en la iniciativa de las personas, y de esa característica derivaría su incidencia en el bienestar laboral. Para ese propósito explicativo el artículo se vale de un ejemplo específico, la cruz de seguridad, dado que es una herramienta derivada de la gestión visual o Visual Management, ampliamente utilizada en el ámbito de la prevención y seguridad laboral en sectores industriales. Primero se reseña la tradición de la que provienen los dispositivos visuales, y su familiaridad con el control de la salud y seguridad ocupacional. Luego se consideran las explicaciones teóricas disponibles al efecto de la cruz de seguridad, considerando variables psicológicas y normas sociales. Finalmente, se discute respecto de la relevancia de ampliar conceptualmente la visión de los riesgos psicosociales del trabajo y la salud laboral hacia una mirada que pueda abordar las paradojas que derivan de estas herramientas de gestión a las que nos vemos enfrentados en nuestra experiencia cotidiana de trabajo, y sus consecuencias en términos del malestar y sufrimiento.
