Outline of Final Research Achievements

While referring to the control theory widely used in the fields of operation management and supply chain management, the technology of a visual management is regarded as a system managed by it and as a communication tool of the person who manages using it, and this study proposed a methodology for schematizing the internal structure of the technology. This study also tried to describe visual management cases by the proposed format, and confirmed that the internal structure of this technology could be represented. Also, based on the above, regarding the transfer for visual management cases in-factory and between industries, while referring to the knowledge and technology of the transfer source, this study confirmed the existence of transfer know-how such as digging into issues in the transfer destination and considering the situation of the organization.
