GEMBA WALK CHECKLIST TEMPLATE

Use this General Gemba Walk checklist to document challenges, interviews and opportunities identified from your Gemba Walks. Start inspection with a classification of work and write down the names of inspectors. Then ask the workers if they are meeting the goals set for them and if they have any input about the method. Note how they determine their challenges and write down their solutions and resources used for the project. Lastly, provide your information on how to put in place and maintain a better process.
