Wall TV View and Visual Workshop Management
A wall TV view continuously displays the state of the workshop on a large screen: machine map, statuses, open breakdowns, the day's indicators. It is the heart of visual management — making information visible to everyone, without anyone having to look for it.
What is visual management?
Visual management means presenting information immediately and understandably at a glance: colours, pictograms, boards. A red screen signals a problem; everyone sees it and can react. It is a pillar of Lean.
What should a good wall view display?
- The machine map with colour-coded statuses.
- Open breakdowns and how long they have been open.
- The day's SQCDP indicators (safety, quality, delivery…).
- Upcoming bookings and scheduling.
Why it is useful in a training workshop
For apprentices, the wall view makes the state of the workshop tangible and builds responsibility: a reported breakdown is visible, a free workstation can be spotted without asking. For the trainer, it is a permanent dashboard that makes the daily briefing easier and supports teaching visual management.
