Join us for a Gemba Walk at the Thermo Fisher project in Chelmsford, MA. The first part of the event will start with a demonstration and presentation of the technology and lean principles that the project team has leveraged along with some lessons learned and Q&A on the Thermo Fisher Construction Site.
The second part of the event will focus on what is a Gemba Walk and a presentation on how to conduct one. The group will then be broken into guided groups of the facility to practice making a Gemba Walk and then concluded with a retrospective of observations made from the walk.
A Gemba Walk is a visual and purposeful walk at the source of the work to thoroughly see and understand work processes and the frontline work.
Please bring PPE (Hardhat, Safety Glasses, High Visibility Clothing, and Proper Footwear).
