Episode Description

The final three of the fourteen principles of Smart Placement focus on opportunities hidden in thin air. What, for example, is meant by “negative space?” And how do you turn it into a positive factor that helps the enterprise succeed? This is just one of the many imbedded questions this set of principles reveal. In this final Smart Placement show, Gwendolyn Galsworth (your host and visual workplace expert) discusses this and other important content that can help you utilize Smart Placement, either as an powerful doorway to robust 5S or as a set of stand-alone lessons that can be used by any work area keen on improvement—whether assembly area, hospital floor or engineering office. One thing is sure: The past eight episodes of The Visual Workplace have demonstrated that where the things of work are located is of vital importance and there is more to learn about that than has ever been contemplated. Tune in and find out for yourself. This a LIVE, call-in show. Let us hear from you!
