Store floor management (SFM) is an effective management method used in companies to increase efficiency and transparency. SFM focuses on achieving improved performance through direct and continuous leadership on the shop floor. This approach emphasizes the importance of visual control of work processes and encourages the active involvement of employees to establish a culture of continuous improvement.
Through clear visualization of workflows and regular communication, bottlenecks and issues are quickly identified, leading to a faster response and more efficient production overall. SFM allows managers to be directly in the workplace, supporting employees, providing feedback and implementing change in real time. This method promotes an open and transparent work environment where all team members are encouraged to make suggestions for improvement and take responsibility for the team’s success.
SFM is based on the principles of lean management and has its roots in techniques originally developed in Japanese companies such as Toyota. These methods were developed specifically for monitoring and controlling workflows at the process level.
Shopfloor management is primarily used in manufacturing, but is also applied in the service, logistics, healthcare and retail sectors, where clear processes and efficient employee management are required.
