Going to gemba and measuring progress
2014
Overview
Regardless of the distractions and interferences that confront your company in the fluid execution of daily operations, success can only be determined as a measure against established goals. The leadership at Joe's Cabinet Shop has established some measurable goals for 2014 that last year would have seemed impossible to achieve but, due to the experience attained during the initial phase of the lean transformation, they are now within reach. You may be wondering how Joe's leaders are going to prioritize the myriad improvement opportunities that will lead them to achieving goals. One technique is called going to gemba or performing gemba walks. Gemba is a Japanese word that means, \"Where the work is done.\" Going to gemba requires a discipline that usually is not promoted in traditional task-managed operations. So far, Joe's has achieved a 15% increase in productivity with current resources as measured against the baseline -- to gauge future improvements -- established five months earlier.
