Paper checklists get filled out, then filed. Nobody reads them.
Spreadsheet trackers get built with good intentions. By week three, they're stale.
Walk habits start strong after training. Then Monday happens, and Tuesday, and they fade.
Every manufacturing leader knows lean principles work. The gap isn't understanding — it's doing it consistently, visibly, and together. Day after day after day.
Four things your management system needs to actually work.
"Make it visible."
If the team can't see it, it doesn't exist. Problems, progress, priorities — on the board, not in someone's head.
"See where you stand."
Every action has an owner. Every flag has a response. Not punishment — ownership. The kind that moves things forward.
"Keep it moving."
A system that stalls is a system that dies. CAMU builds the cadence — daily walks, weekly reviews, actions that close.
"Get on the same page."
One board. One rhythm. One team. Not five people with five spreadsheets and five versions of the truth.
Our first product. A structured Gemba walk tool that turns floor observations into closed-out actions.
Prompted observations. Cell by cell, question by question. Consistent every time, not dependent on who's walking.
See something? Flag it. Photo, note, severity. It's captured — not on a sticky note that falls off the board.
Team review meeting. Everything from every walk, in one place. Discuss, prioritize, assign. The stand-up board, digitized.
Owner. Due date. Status. Actions tracked to closure — not lost in meeting minutes nobody reads.
Verify. Close. Recognize. The loop completes. Tomorrow, you walk again. The rhythm holds.
GembaBot is the first tool. The management operating system is bigger.
