Article Abstract:

Those investing in systems improvement require supporting evidence for planned improvements in order to assess funding priorities. There is also a need for quality managers and investors to assess the progress of ongoing projects. In both cases, enhanced visibility tools can play a valuable role.

Enhanced visibility tools can provide value for all departments in a complex organization, not merely assembly.
