Quality Management
GEMBA Approach for Packhouse Quality Management
Use GEMBA walks and visual management to solve quality problems where the work happens and strengthen packhouse performance.
Course overview
GEMBA means going to the actual place where work happens. In a packhouse, many quality failures become visible only when leaders observe the line, ask the right questions and compare actual practice with the standard.
This practical course introduces structured GEMBA walks, visual management and rapid problem-solving methods that turn daily observations into measurable quality and efficiency improvements.
What participants will be able to do
- Plan and conduct focused GEMBA walks without creating blame
- Observe work against standards and identify abnormal conditions
