“GO & SEE”
AN INTRODUCTION TO THE GEMBA WALK
CLASS EXERCISE

“Back in the day” managers were told to “MBWA” - Manage By Walking Around
Today, we have much better advice: “Go And See”
•
“Go” to where the work is happening
• “See” - actively look for different forms of risk and opportunity
•
Risk could be in terms of Safety or Quality or some other waste
•
Opportunity opens the door to a world of continuous improvement
