How to Connect Lean Management with Modern Tools
Gemba. A Japanese word meaning “the real place” – the place where value is created. In the world of lean management, it refers to the office, the production floor, the warehouse… simply put, the place where things actually happen.
The Gemba Walk is a simple yet powerful tool. Managers go directly to the people. They observe the work, ask questions, and most importantly – they listen. The goal is not control, but understanding.
Why isn’t Gemba enough today?
Because data remains scattered in notebooks, emails, and people’s memory. Because without automation, insights rarely turn into concrete actions. And that’s exactly where the digital shift comes in.
Digital Gemba with Power Platform
When combined with Power Apps, Power Automate, and Power BI, the traditional Gemba Walk becomes a tool with real impact:
✅ Capturing insights in real time
✅ Automated tasks and alerts
✅ Reports that actually make sense
✅ Sharing across teams and locations
At Evenaut, we’ve brought Gemba into our apps. That way, good ideas don’t get lost – and small changes turn into system-wide improvements.
A shift in mindset, not just technology
Gemba isn’t an app. Gemba is a mindset. But an app can be a catalyst. Combined with the “Genchi Genbutsu” approach – meaning “go and see for yourself” – it becomes a tool that truly drives things forward.
