The elements of an effective Gemba Walk include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Go To The Workplace<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Go where work takes place. In the manufacturing industry, this is the production line. This allows you to gain valuable, firsthand insights into the workplace dynamic, observe workers in a natural setting and identify issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Ask Questions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask the right questions to help you identify and understand a problem. Defining the \u201cwhy\u201d helps you understand the nature of a problem and determine the cause and effect of a particular issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Treat Employees With Respect<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Be available for your employees and treat them with respect. This helps build trust throughout the organization, so employees will be more open to sharing valuable information with you that can help you identify and solve a problem that may impede performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"separators-custom-box cta  -colors-inverted\"  style='background-image: linear-gradient(to right, #06202d, #136893);'>\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"cta__title --small\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t>Planning your first <br><span>Gemba Walk?<\/span><\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\/eu1\/free-trial\/\"\n\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\tstyle=\"background-color:;\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"cta__link \"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\tTry doForms For Free\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-to-plan-a-gemba-walk-step-by-step\"><\/span>How To Plan A Gemba Walk Step-By-Step<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Need to plan a Gemba Walk? We\u2019ve compiled a simple how-to guide. Follow these 10 steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 1. Define Your Objectives<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Gemba Walk needs to have objectives or a theme. To define the objectives for your Gemba Walk, determine your priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Examples of objectives include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lowering costs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increasing safety<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increasing productivity<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 2. Prepare The Team<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before going on your Gemba Walk, prepare your team by informing them when the walk will happen, explaining the topic of discussion, and sharing the benefits of the walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 3. Focus On The Process<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Focus on the process, not on people or identifying problematic workers. Remember: your Gemba Walk is not an employee evaluation \u2014 it\u2019s a productivity evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 4. Stick To The Value Stream<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>What elements of the production process are driving the most value? Analyze processes and apply valuable practices across departments. Similarly, when you notice a procedure doesn\u2019t provide value or causes drawbacks, identify areas that can be optimized to increase value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 5. Write Down Observations<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Take notes about your observations throughout your Gemba Walk. Recording your findings will help you prepare a detailed report later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 6. Ask Questions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask precise and direct questions to gather valuable insights into the processes and potentially problematic areas. Follow the journalistic approach and ask:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Who<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Where<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Why<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 7. Keep Suggestions For Later<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During your Gemba Walk, you might have suggestions on how to improve processes and increase value. However, during the walk, focus on observations and take notes \u2014 save discussions and action plans for after the walk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 8. Walk With Your Team<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your Gemba Walk will be more effective if you walk as a team. Invite employees to walk with you, to help point out issues or concerns you can address together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 9. Keep The Schedule Flexible<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You don\u2019t need to conduct Gemba Walks on a fixed schedule, because you may run the risk of disrupting employee workflow. Instead, keep it flexible. Just make sure to announce it ahead of time. You can conduct Gemba Walks daily, once a week, once a month or as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step 10. Gather Feedback<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask your employees for feedback, create a report and follow up regarding actionable plans for improvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This can be a separate meeting or you can follow up via email. Letting your employees know that their input is valued can help fortify teamwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"550\" src=\"https:\/\/doformstest.wpengine.com\/eu1\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/09\/gemba-walk-checklist-steps.jpg\" alt=\"An image a person looking at notes during an inspection\" class=\"wp-image-4123\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.doforms.com\/eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/09\/gemba-walk-checklist-steps.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.doforms.com\/eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/09\/gemba-walk-checklist-steps-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.doforms.com\/eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2022\/09\/gemba-walk-checklist-steps-768x469.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A Gemba Walk consists of a series of steps, including defining your objectives, preparing the team, recording observations, asking questions and gathering feedback <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"gemba-walk-checklist-questions-to-include\"><\/span>Gemba Walk Checklist: Questions To Include<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A crucial step in every Gemba Walk Checklist is to ask the right questions.
