Why the funny name? |
 |
 |
|
"Gemba" (pronounced gĕm-bä) is a Japanese term that roughly translates into "the place where the truth can be seen", "the place where the work is done" or the "workshop floor".
This comes from the Lean Manufacturing culture established by Toyota. The context of it's meaning is this: "If you want to know what's happening in your business, you have to go to the Gemba (i.e. the workshop floor) where the value is produced and the truth can be seen". In other words, the place where the work is done holds truths and nuances that cannot be seen from a spreadsheet, portfolio dashboard or other abstraction. In order to improve upon the value chain and the flow of value - one must actually go to where value is produced. |
