Which area on the GEMBA walk is focused on overall productivity and efficiency?

The GEMBA Board is specifically designed to focus on overall productivity and efficiency during the GEMBA walk. The concept of GEMBA, which translates to "the real place," emphasizes going to the frontline where work is performed to observe processes and identify opportunities for improvement. The GEMBA Board typically displays key performance indicators (KPIs), metrics, and other relevant data that reflect how well the team is performing against established goals related to productivity and efficiency.

This board allows participants in the GEMBA walk to engage in discussions centered on real-time performance, facilitating immediate recognition of both wastes and best practices. By concentrating on these aspects, the GEMBA Board serves as a critical tool for continuous improvement, encouraging teams to analyze their workflow, identify bottlenecks, and streamline operations effectively.

Other areas, while important in their own right, focus on specific issues or priorities rather than encompassing the broad scope of productivity and efficiency like the GEMBA Board does.
