Gemba is a Japanese Term, and literally means gathering of the people/actual place. In lean terms it is the place you add value in your workplace. For manufacturing, the Gemba is the factory.

These are the words of Doug Hall (www.doughallimould.com), founder of Eureka! Ranch and P&G brand-building wunderkind. It is also the mantra for the U.S. government’s latest initiative to lead manufacturing in this country into the new century. The goal of the new administration’s plan is to help transition discrete manufacturing companies—small and midsized manufacturers (SM……
