Complete a Gemba Walk in your place of employment and document your observations. Refer to the SWOT analysis you conducted in Week Three to select the areas in need of improvement and narrow the list of places to conduct your Gemba Walk.

Write a 2- to 3-page report on your observations of your Gemba. Include the following in your report:
Include a summary of the organization (e.g., products or services, mission and vision)
Provide context (where did you focus your Gemba on and why?)

Who did you observe?
Give a preliminary analysis of your observations.
List key takeaways.

Cite any references that support your Gemba (e.g., trade or industry publications, government or agency websites, scholarly works, or other sources of similar quality).
Week 3 Analysis
After conducting a preliminary walk within the restaurant’s various sectors and its environs, I paid vivid attention to all the aspects that I need to considerâ€â€helpful and harmful. I then probed to review the business structure, management system, environmental management standards, and occupational health and safety management (Management Systems, n.d.).
Helpful
The probe helped me to understand the gaps in our business. As a result, it stimulated me to conduct a SWOT analysis to come up with solutions and implementation procedures.
Harmful
Without continually conducting a probe, a business can plunge into serious problems.
