Every gemba walk can serve a different purpose. In LeanAudit, you can create your own template and define what you want to focus on, from a few essential checkpoints to a more detailed structure for recurring walks.
This lets you adapt each walk to specific processes, workplaces and the way your company runs gemba activities.
Not everything you observe needs to be evaluated in the same way. For individual checklist items, you can choose the scoring method that best fits the situation, such as OK/NOK, points, percentages, stars or a custom scale.
Some of the most valuable findings during a gemba walk cannot be planned in advance. With Observations, you can record an issue, deviation or other finding directly on the spot, even if it was not part of the original checklist.
You can configure what an Observation should include, such as a note, photo or corrective action. This gives you the flexibility to capture findings in a way that matches how your organization wants to work with them.
Observations can be added at any time during a scheduled walk, so a gemba walk can be based on predefined questions, open observations or a combination of both.
A finding does not have to end as a photo or note. When action is needed, you can turn it into a corrective action and track it through resolution.
LeanAudit keeps the link between what was observed on the shop floor and what was actually done about it.
