Smart Visual Management Workshop

See What You’ve Been Missing: Visual Management That Actually Works

If you're a CI manager, operations leader, or production supervisor, this session gives you a front-row look at visual management in its most practical, high-impact form. Simple theory. No gimmicks. Just smart, simple ideas you can take back to your workplace the very next day.

What you’ll get from the session:

• The core principles made simple. Understand what effective visual management really looks like.

• Real examples in action. Walk through Kavanagh’s workstations and see how visuals guide work, lift standards, and reduce noise.

• Practical tools you can use. Learn how visuals support clearer communication and faster problem-solving.

• Ideas you can implement immediately. Short, sharp takeaways that make daily work easier, safer, and more consistent.

Clear. Practical. No fluff. Just simple tools that make work easier, safer, and more consistent.

About the host: 

Kavanagh Industries has quietly built a strong reputation for doing the fundamentals well. Their Lean journey is grounded in practical, frontline engagement and a commitment to making work flow smoothly. Over the years, they’ve blended classic Lean thinking with the Theory of Constraints, focusing on identifying real bottlenecks and fixing them in ways that lift performance across the whole site.

The result? A workplace where people can see the work, understand the priorities, and get better one improvement at a time.
