GEMBA Board - Meeting where the work is being done.

What is GEMBA?

The Gemba Board is a visual tool for tracking the status of metrics/ quality drivers in the workplace.

What does this mean?

When anyone is walking by the board, they should not have any questions about where your team is at.
They should see:

• Did we meet goals today?

• Are there any safety events?
