Kaizen foams and shadow boards have outlines cut for each specific tool. This provides fast detection if a tool is missing or identifies where to place a tool once it has been used.

Source: Timbecon, 2020 Visual management can provide a simple and yet effective solution to enhance information flow in many manufacturing shop floors. Easy access to production information not only maintains the integrity of production quality, but it can also be used to boost efficiency and aid in training process (Tulip, 2020). If an organization needs to visualize management systems that include formulations of mandatory requirements to better understand the context, it have to look for a suitable tool for that visualization. For example, ISO standards include management systems declared as documents (in paper form).
