  8. Visual Workplace Implementation • Develop a map identifying the “access ways”(aisles, entrances, walkways etc.) and the “action” areas. • Perform any necessary realignment of walkways, aisles, entrances. • Assign an address to each of the major action areas. • Mark off the walkways, aisles & entrances from the action areas • Apply flow-direction arrows to aisles & walkways • Perform any necessary realignment of action areas. • Mark-off the inventory locations • Mark-off equipment/machine locations • Mark-off storage locations (cabinets, shelves, tables) • Color-code the floors and respective action areas
