"Kaizen, Six Sigma, total quality management and continuous improvement programs are pursued by companies all over the world as they strive to compete in the global economy," said Automation World's Greenfield. "This webinar will provide real-world visual management examples of how the collection and display of KPIs drive productivity on the plant floor."

Webinar speakers will include Jesse Benefiel, product manager at Red Lion Controls, and Robert Kaska, president of Chicago Electric, a provider of automation systems, products and machine solutions based in Carol Stream, Illinois.

This webinar serves as an introduction to the concept of visual management, and how it invokes the "Hawthorne Effect" to increase efficiency and reduce downtime. Chicago Electric will also illustrate how Red Lion's ProducTVity (PTV) Station, a ready-to-deploy visual management solution that displays KPIs and andon messages, enhances productivity across the factory. Chicago Electric is using the PTV Station as part of a pre-engineered system targeted to customers in manufacturing environments that include packaging and other applications.

"It is important not only to show how a machine is performing at a certain time, but also how it should be performing. Red Lion's ProducTVity Station provides this information in real time," said Chicago Electric's Kaska. "By visually displaying information against set goals, customers are able to immediately make changes and adjustments that impact performance. Often finding out how something performed the next day is too late."
