Every time there is improvement, the image must be created and installed near the last photo to show the chronological series of improvements. If the date of the upcoming shooting events have been notified and recorded clearly in the chart (photos posted on the bulletin board.) This will be the goal and will help increase the desire of workers to continue to show improvement till that date. These charts are also used by supervisors for assessment.


Photography is a great incentive for workers and allow management to continue improvement activities effectively. Through portraits of activity, workers can see first hand his skills with a sense of pride or shame. Awareness that improvement is necessary is a spontaneous reaction to an embarrassing photograph. Conversely, if the portrait of activities shows that the regulations have been implemented 5S, workers have set a good example and a role model for her coworkers.

The principle of visualization images of activities in the form of before-after activity is very effective way to motivate employees to work on the basis of existing lean manufacturing.
