"Competitive factories of tomorrow must rely on the knowledge and experiences of
everyone, including production workers. The Visual Factory does an excellent job of
introducing the concepts of visual factories as well as providing a guideline for
implementing them. The industry examples were especially helpful." Dan Blount,
Engineering Manager Hewlett Packard, Exeter Computer Manufacturing Operation
"The Visual Factory is rich with visions and ideas for providing a long lasting
source of information for significant productivity and quality improvement. It fits
perfectly as an inspiration to Just-In-Time/Total Quality advancement for the 90s."
Jack Rice, JITQC Consultant Digital Equipment Corporation
"Greif gets to the heart of the Visual Factory (Visual Management) concept very
early on when he says, 'The Visual Factory concept is simply to be able to see in
the process area all measurements necessary for the team members working there to be able
to see, understand and achieve continuous improvement.' It also makes visitors process
experts in a very short time if the visual controls are done well." James P. Walker,
