Tool shadow boards
A shadow board designed and labelled to your exact tool set, so a missing item is obvious at a glance and every tool has a fixed home.

5S and visual management for every kind of shop floor
Most of our work is with engineering, fabrication and process manufacturers building or maintaining a 5S programme.
What we see on site
Common problems in general industry
Problem 01
Programme stalls after launch
The first 5S event goes well but boards made from tape and marker do not last.
Problem 02
Maintenance tool sprawl
Workshop tools have no fixed home, so time is lost and duplicates get bought.
Problem 03
Inconsistent visual standard
Each area looks different, which makes audits and training harder.
What we make for this sector
Relevant board types
Cleaning stations
A fixed home for brushes, squeegees, mops and consumables, colour-coded to zone so cross-contamination and lost equipment stop being a daily problem.
DetailsVisual management boards
Custom-printed visual management boards for daily performance meetings, KPI tracking and problem solving. Bring targets, actual results and actions together in a fixed layout designed around your team's routine.
