Visual Workplace Radio: Let The Workplace Speak

You know what we know: borders are an indispensable and a powerful element in your language of operational visuality. Whether you are in discrete manufacturing, continuous process flow, high or low volume production, in a hospital or in a laboratory, borders can visually capture the where, what, who, when, how many, and how of performance. Add an address for that message to become robust. Today, your host and visual expert, Gwendolyn Galsworth, walks you through the step-by-step process she created for developing a sturdy color-coded system for borders—or for vetting the one you already have. Get your pen and paper ready, this will be in detail and immediately applicable—categories of visual function that each border color represent, how much floor space each color commands, which colors need to be in held common across the enterprise and where flights of fancy are permissible.
