Many companies that work with lean processes organize (bi-)weekly standups to discuss progress and performances. Based on detailed information, an overall score is assigned to each team. Usually, performances are categorized as good, average, or bad. Until the next standup, this will be the ‘label’ that a team carries along. Therefore, it’s important to ensure that teams don’t become demotivated. They need to be able to improve on a day-to-day basis and see their results right away rather than during the next standup. The key to achieving this is Targeted BI (Business Intelligence). Allow us to elaborate!

Targeted BI (Business Information) consists of making connections to all data systems, collecting information, and presenting all relevant data to the right (groups of) people to create real-time awareness. It is a must for every organization that wishes to work in an effective, streamlined, and organized way, so its people can achieve the best possible results. Why, you ask? We’ll explain it in this blog!

It’s January 2018. People everywhere have ushered in the new year and are generally in good spirits. Regardless of their resolutions, they’ve made all kinds of plans to make it a great and successful year. To achieve this all-important goal, it is paramount to have a beacon: a distant yet clearly visible point that you’re sailing towards. It so happens that this is also the case in Visual Management. Allow us to explain!

Christmas is the time to gather around a beautifully decorated tree and enjoy some quality time together. As the Christmas tree plays a pivotal role during the holidays, most people spend a significant amount of time decorating it. Garlands, figures, bells, and other ornaments are carefully hung in the branches by adults and children alike. But the pinnacle of perfection is the tree topper, and putting it on the tree is always a special moment. Think about it: whether ’fully-packed’ or scarcely decorated, there is no Christmas tree without a tree topper.

One of Holland’s major hotel chains used to serve children its trademark treat: traditional Dutch apple sauce, topped with a fire-red cherry. Of course, the apple sauce was delicious, but that single cherry did the trick. Time and again, it was the eye-catcher – the reason why children pulled their parents’ sleeves and asked for this particular dessert.

In our blogs, we have been talking a lot about Visual Management. Today, we want to address two important questions which are directly related to this topic: Why does Texas Digital exist, and why should you opt for working with us?

“What does Texas Digital stand for and what does it have to offer?” It’s a question we get from time to time, and it’s one that we’re more than happy to answer.

Stop using different knives for different purposes! Use an easy-to-handle one-fits-all solution: the Swiss army knife. How does this relate to Visual Management?

Waste: we’ve been mentioning the term quite often in our blogs. But what does it look like in practice? Basically, there are eight types of waste. Today, we’d like to highlight two of these – ‘Talent’ and ‘Motion’ – through a real-life example: a top-tier logistics operator that has been working with Texas Digital Europe

We’ve talked a bit about the value of simplifying things in our last blog. Whereas some organizations are afraid to offend their employees by presenting them with crisp-and-clear visualized information, other companies have embraced Visual Management to the fullest. Why? Because ultimately, they wish to increase sales while reducing cost and improving the overall customer experience.
