Overview
Gemba (also written as genba) is a Japanese word meaning “the actual place.” In lean practices, the Gemba refers to “the place where value is created,” such as the shop floor in manufacturing, the operating room in a hospital, the job site on a construction project, the kitchen of a restaurant, and the workstation of a software programmer.
The Gemba walk is an essential part of the Lean management philosophy. Its initial purpose is to allow managers and leaders to observe the actual work process, engage with employees, gain knowledge about the work process, and explore opportunities for continuous improvement. This course will enable you to apply Gemba to your workplace, you might be surprised at what you discover!
