“…VM was initially associated with the 5S system as a way of highlighting the standards (Aik 2005;Gapp, Fisher, and Kobayashi 2008;Kobayashi, Fisher, and Gapp 2008). Later, additional benefits of using VM tools were identified: performance results are more transparent, gaps in processes are easily identified and addressed more quickly and attention to rework, scrap production and other wastes are facilitated, along with other non-value-added activities (Liff and Posey 2004).…”

One of the most important enablers of continuous improvement sustainability is ease of communication, and doing so in a way that can be understood by all employees and allows information to flow rapidly throughout the company. Visual Management (VM) provides significant benefits in communication and standardisation which boosts the effectiveness of improvement systems. This article presents an in-depth literature review about the concept of VM and its benefits, and provides results from an exploratory study carried out in the Basque Country that aims to ascertain the usage of VM in 52 companies. Based on a literature review, 20 different VM elements were identified for improving the workplace. The implementation of these elements was studied, as was the relationship of VM with employee participation systems. The results of this study show a general moderate implementation of VM tools in companies with implementation levels differing according to company size. Some of the lowest scores are detected in the areas of visual control of quality, the displaying of indicators and process visibility. Moreover, statistical differences were identified between the implementation of suggestion systems and improvement teams and the implementation level of VM tools.

“…The use of visual tools can increase efficiency, whereas a lack of such tools inhibits the increase in efficiency (Kattman et al 2012). Moreover, VM can help improve productivity, safety and plant organisation (Aik 2005).…”

“…Specifically, this can be interpreted as OJT trainers reducing pressure or stress on newcomers who cannot fully understand the situations, whereas trainers encourage trainees with some experience to set higher objectives and to reflect the causes of success or failure. This suggests that OJT trainers may consider the stage of expertise (Dreyfus & Dreyfus, 1986, 2005 in instructing less experienced employees.…”

“…On‐the‐job training (OJT) is one of the important aspects of learning organizations because learning that is clearly relevant to the organizational needs is more likely to occur in an OJT setting (Aik, ). Past research has reported that OJT enhances the employees' organizational commitment, boosts their wage growth, increases productivity of firms and increases staff retention (e.g.…”

“…The term visual management (Imai, 1997;Liff and Posey, 2004;Drew et al, 2004;Denis and Shook, 2007;Liker and Hoseus, 2008) is close in meaning to the concepts of: visual workplace (Greif, 1991;Hirano, 1995;Galsworth, 1997Galsworth, , 2005, visual controls (VC) (Shingo, 1989;Shimbun, 1995;Liker, 2004;Mann, 2014), visual factory (Bilalis et al, 2002;Aik, 2005), shop floor management (Suzaki, 1993), visual tools (Parry and Turner, 2006) and visual communication (Mestre et al, 1999). Misuse of the terms is a common practice (Standard and Davis, 1999).…”

The multitude of concepts and methods of management and control related to the word “visual” in the area of production and quality management may cause difficulties with their perception, proper understanding and use of these terms by researchers from various backgrounds (not necessarily related to production) and countries, including Poland. In particular, the noticed inaccuracies in the use of terms with the word “visual” concern such terms as visual: management, control, inspection, and testing, where, for example, in the Polish language the first three different terms in English are named with the same phrase, which sometimes causes some confusion. The aim of the article was an attempt to distinguish, sometimes “troublesome” definitions, to indicate the area of their application, to define possible relations between them, which is a peculiar novelty. The article is an analysis of the literature related to these concepts, systematizes the types of visual concepts and methods in the area of production and quality. It defines in what context the indicated terms should be used by researchers and what is the relationship between them, and under what conditions they can be used separately or jointly. The article is an attempt to indicating and analysis of the interrelation between concepts in which the word “visual” appears concerning production practice. Concepts visual: management, control, inspection, and testing, as the author proves in the article, they should be translated into English with due diligence, due to the differences between them. It has been shown that there is a strong relationship between type definition pairs as visual management & visual control and visual inspection & visual testing, where it is not a mistake to use them interchangeably, and cases, where all these concepts can intertwine, are also given.
