Visual display relates information and data to employees in
the area.

company or a graphic depicting a certain type of quality issue that
group members should be aware of.
A visual control is intended to actually control or guide the
action of the group members.
Examples of controls are readily apparent in society: stop signs,
handicap parking signs, no smoking signs, etc.
Visual controls describe workplace safety, production throughput,
material flow, quality metrics, or other information
Audio signals in the factory are also very important because
they signal malfunctioning equipment, sound warnings before
the start of machine operation, or other useful information.

that can be understood quickly by everyone.
