Describe how the visual workplace can increase information flow, improve efficiency, and eliminate non-value-adding activities. Support your argument with a few examples

What will be an ideal response?

Visuals reduce the time spent sharing information, especially in signaling hazards, low-stock conditions, poor quality, etc. Time spent reading instructions or taking measurements are non-value-adding if a simple visual can replace them. Examples include graphs of stock conditions, painted warnings, markers, kanbans, andons, and others.
