Gemba is the path to continuous improvement
Gemba (現場) is ‘the real place‘; in business, it refers to the actual place where the value created (such as the finance office is a Gemba for the finance team, factory shop floor is the Gemba for production, maintenance & quality team).
Benchmarking yourself against world-class practices
Performance management is the continuous process of improving performance by setting individual and team (Gemba) goals aligned to the organization’s strategic objectives, planning implementation to achieve the goals, reviewing and assessing progress, and developing the knowledge, skills, and abilities of people.
It is possible to establish a highly competitive and result-oriented team only by implementing an effective and holistic Performance Management System across the organization.
Operational performance is the synergy between various Gemba’s with specialized expertise, complementary skills, and the ability to produce excellent output together as a team. All the Gemba’s in the organization collaborate to accomplish specific (Quality, Cost, Delivery, Safety & morale, and Technology) business goals and are also responsible for achieving operational excellence. It is essential for management to introduce & stabilize a holistic method that analyzes and manages the overall performance of each Gemba.
Gemba PMS approach is a more dynamic and SMARTS method. We focus on management target (Less In & More Out) output.
