The Power of Visualisation

The Power of Visualization Mieruka (見える化) or ‘visualisation’ is a management concept used by Toyota and other Japanese organisations.

The goal is to present problems and plans in a clear visual format, whilst encouraging transparency and information sharing among employees. With Document Compass® (DC) from TOKO DS all the stakeholders in your project can visualise current and planned projects, and workflow, from anywhere in the world. The documents are shared using the SaaS (Software as a Service) environment, which is affordable to run and requires no capital for infrastructure set-up. Document Compass® features include:

• At-a-glance project overview – including current status, deadlines, key personnel and approval processes
• Business workflows with drag-and-drop icons and links to related documents
• Significant reductions in cost (eliminating email document transfers and reducing copies, printing, and storage)
• Instant access to project status via the web
• Workflow template for recurring tasks
• Latest documents routed to stakeholders and synchronised between departments, customers, suppliers and vendors
• Powerful search capability: search by key-words or by department, project, owner, submitter, document category, and date
• Drag-and-drop emailing directly from the organisation chart
• Subscription functions: email alerts and notification of document changes and key dates
• EEV (Eagle Eye View) simplifies sharing and visualising by providing a wide range of ways to discover and access documents: for example, by organisation chart, project chart, employees, workflow and document search
• EEV also controls document versions during updates
• Extensive access control policy for every document stored in the system – protecting document confidentiality and IP among clients and/or teams.
