    10 Steps for Conducting an Energy Walk (Gemba) Event

    1) Off hours observations: Do a quick check yourself, to see if things are being left on during off hours.
    Decide if there is a need for a formal event with others from the area.

    2) Case for Change: Provide photos and observations of items left on during your walk around to
    leadership, to justify need for the formal event. You may need to gather estimates of cost for these
    items.

    3) Define the team: Find a good mix of employees, mainly from the work area. Delay the event until you
    get the right people there. Make sure they don’t tell others they are involved in this event, which might
    affect the results.

    4) Prepare for event: Define the boundaries of where to observe. Schedule the following activities with
    the entire team.

    1) Event Kickoff

    2) Off hours weekend

    3) Work Start-up

    4) Working hours

    5) Working shutdown/shift change

    5) Kickoff training: Education about why this event is being held, how it fits into the big picture, train
    them on what to do, review the schedule, and answer any questions.

    6) Run the events: Food and drinks help increase attendance. Each group should have a camera,
    clipboard, and checklist of items (to remind them what to look for). Make sure everyone takes their time
    and is very detailed.

    7) Organize and prioritize opportunities: Identify 3 key actions that are the priority. There should be at
    least one item that is quick and easy to do. Schedule a cadence the very next week, and have a “report
    out” with leadership.

    8) Reviews action items: Conduct weekly reviews with team, and monthly reviews with leadership.

    9) Establish roles and responsibilities: Add assigned tasks for shutting off items into existing
    documentation. Use Signs and visual controls.

    10) Communicate successes: Use formal and informal communications, even if only small
    improvements. Encourage the team members to talk to their co-workers in other areas about what they
    observed. Identify and address “systemic” issues.
