Synthesis & Bridge

You've learned to go to the gemba and see work as it really happens. But what should you look for? The next module - Introduction to Flow - teaches you to see how work moves (or doesn't move) through your shop. You'll learn why batches create delays, how WIP accumulates, and what smooth flow looks like. These concepts give you a framework for what to observe when you go to the gemba.

For those on the Leadership track: Gemba walks become even more powerful when combined with Flow thinking. You'll see these concepts integrated in **Leader Standard Work** and **Daily Management**.
