Visual control as a key factor in a production process of a company from automotive branch
Journal Title: Production Engineering Archives - Year 2013, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
This article presents a theoretical basis for one type of control in enter-prises – visual control. It presents the meaning of visual control in the Toyota Production System and BOST researches as a tool of measure, among other things, the importance of visual control in production com-panies. The level of importance of visual control usage as one of the production process elements in the analysed company was indicated. The usage of visual control is a main factor in a production process of the analyzed company, the factor which provides continuous help to employees to check whether the process differs from the standard. The characteristic progression of production process elements was indicated and the SW factor (the use of visual control) took the third place, PE factor (interruption of production when it detects a problem of quality) turned out to be the most important one, while the least important was the EU factor (granting power of attorney down). The main tools for this evaluation : an innovative BOST survey - Toyota's management princi-ples in questions, in particular, the Pareto-Lorenz diagram, radar graph and series of importance as graphical interpretation tools, were used to present the importance of each factor in relation to individual assess-ments.
