Visual management system in organization: principles of construction and practical instruments of implementation

The paper presents the results of the study of the visual control system in organizations. The enterprises of various sectors of the economy are selected as an object of the research. In modern economic realities, the efficiency of the organization's activities largely depends not only on the introduction of innovations in production, but also on the structural reform of the management model. Today the issues of growth of labor productivity are actively discussed at all levels of government. These issues are a priority task for the management of various companies, regardless of area of activity. It has been proved that the application of the principles and tools of lean manufacturing, many of which do not require high implementation costs, can be used for increasing the efficiency of the organization. The importance of study of visual management tools has been emphasized; the advantages of visual management tools (reduction of losses, reduction of the production cycle, ensuring the timely delivery of stocks to warehouses, etc.) have been listed. The rules for implementation of the visual management tools in the activities of any enterprise are discussed in detail. The visual management tools should reflect the requirements for safety, production or performance any standard operation; they should be simple and unambiguous in understanding and sufficiently illustrative and noticeable from afar. There has been taken an attempt to highlight a number of universal visual management tools using the scientific principles of building the system that can be applied in the work of many organizations, regardless of type of activity and form of ownership
