Daily Management & Gemba Leader Checklist

Use this checklist during leader Gemba walks to make observations measurable, capture one clear improvement idea, verify safety controls, assign immediate containment when needed, and schedule follow-up. Briefly review yesterday's huddle notes and KPIs before you go. Record evidence so huddles and coaching conversations are focused and actionable.

Enter the date of the Gemba walk (YYYY-MM-DD or a human-readable date).
Specify the work area, line, or department visited.
Confirm you reviewed the prior huddle's notes and key metrics before starting the walk.
Capture any context or carry-over issues to watch for during the walk.
Observe actual work, compare to the standard, and note deviations as evidence.
Describe what you saw and include concrete evidence (who, what, when, where).
List the questions you asked (for example: 'What problem are you working on?', 'What barriers do you face?', 'What happened since the last huddle?').
Rate how engaged and empowered the team seemed during the walk.
