What is the Andon Board?

Do you want to know what the Andon board is? The Andon board is a visual management tool used in lean manufacturing. It allows operators on the production line to identify and signal problems. The operator will pull a cord or activate a switch to stop the line when an issue arises. Supervisors can then investigate the matter and take corrective action. The Andon system is an essential part of lean manufacturing. It helps ensure that problems are identified and corrected as quickly as possible. This reduces waste and improves quality.
