The aim of the study is to assess the extent to which visual management is significant in the production process on detecting problems in the production hall and in building an internal competitive advantage in the studied two strategic branches in Poland: metal and automotive. The innovative "BOST - Toyota's management principles in questions" survey research was used to assess visual management's importance. 20 companies were surveyed, and responses were obtained from 689 respondents. Analyses showed greater importance of visual management in the metal branch than in the automotive branch, while the greater impact of this system on revealing problems and building a competitive advantage in the automotive branch, which resulted from the specific objectives of this system in the analysed branches. The results emphasize the specific background of the importance of visual management in the analysed branches. The analysis linking the importance of the visual management system with the impact on creating a competitive advantage meets the expectations of managers looking for alternative and low-cost ways to increase the company's competitiveness. Companies need to understand that the sooner a problem is discovered, the better, because sooner can be taken corrective action to prevent it from happening again. Effective detection problems in the production hall supported by the visual management tools and their elimination is a way of reducing costs and building an internal competitive advantage.

Celem pracy jest ocena, na ile zarządzanie wizualne jest istotne w procesie produkcyjnym w wykrywaniu problemów na hali produkcyjnej oraz w budowaniu wewnętrznej przewagi konkurencyjnej w badanych dwóch strategicznych branżach w Polsce: metalowej i motoryzacyjnej. Do oceny znaczenia zarządzania wizualnego wykorzystano innowacyjne badanie ankietowe „BOST - Zasady zarządzania Toyotą w pytaniach”. Przebadano 20 firm, a odpowiedzi uzyskano od 689 respondentów. Analizy wykazały większe znaczenie zarządzania wizualnego w branży metalowej niż motoryzacyjnej, natomiast większy wpływ tego systemu na ujawnianie problemów i budowanie przewagi konkurencyjnej w branży motoryzacyjnej, co wynikało ze specyficznych celów tego systemu w analizowanych branżach. Wyniki uwypuklają specyfikę znaczenia zarządzania wizualnego w analizowanych branżach. Analiza łącząca znaczenie systemu zarządzania wizualnego z wpływem na tworzenie przewagi konkurencyjnej wychodzi naprzeciw oczekiwaniom menedżerów poszukujących alternatywnych i niskokosztowych sposobów na zwiększenie konkurencyjności firmy. Firmy muszą zrozumieć, że im szybciej problem zostanie wykryty, tym lepiej, ponieważ szybciej można podjąć działania naprawcze, aby zapobiec jego ponownemu wystąpieniu. Skuteczne wykrywanie problemów na hali produkcyjnej wsparte narzędziami zarządzania wizualnego i ich eliminacja to sposób na redukcję kosztów i budowanie wewnętrznej przewagi konkurencyjnej.
