Tool shadow boards
A board cut and labelled to your exact tool set, so a missing item is obvious at a glance and every tool has a fixed home.

5S and visual management for every kind of shop floor
Most of our work is with engineering, fabrication, process and food manufacturers who are building or maintaining a 5S programme. Whether it is one maintenance workshop or a whole site, we design boards that fit the space, the tools and the way the team already works.
What we see on site
Common problems in general industry
Problem 01
Programme stalls after launch
The first 5S event goes well but boards made from tape and marker do not last.
Problem 02
Maintenance tool sprawl
Workshop tools have no fixed home, so time is lost and duplicates get bought.
Problem 03
Inconsistent visual standard
Each area looks different, which makes audits and training harder.
What we make for this sector
Relevant board types
Cleaning stations
A fixed home for brushes, squeegees, mops and consumables, colour-coded to zone so cross-contamination and lost equipment stop being a daily problem.
DetailsVisual management boards
Custom-printed whiteboards laid out for your tiered meetings, KPI tracking, 5S audits and shift handovers, so the routine runs the same way every day.
