We want to make a linkage between Lean lingo and plain business language. The actual word is Genba G e N b a, literal translation is "site"...thanks google translate. The english speaking folks make the sound of the word be GeMba therefore the written translation uses the letter "M". In the Toyota Production System (TPS for short) Genba refers to the place where the work is done, the shop floor. This ties directly to the idea of Genchi Genbutsu. Will tackle that phrase in our next segment. Come back then or learn visit our site leanbeanlearning.com. Brewing continuous improvement through experiential learning.
