A Gemba Case Study
Aptiv, a $17 billion automotive technology company, faced the challenge of immersing 13,000 global employees in Lean Six Sigma processes to revolutionize their supply chain efficiency within three years. They turned to the vendor Gemba to design an interactive virtual reality training program to meet this ambitious goal.
Gemba implemented a solution using its VR platform to create over twenty modules that united Lean theory with practical exercises. This allowed Aptiv to deploy standardized training across multiple sites with no travel required. The results were significant, as Gemba's program reduced individual training sessions from two days to four hours, delivered six-figure savings, and increased learning recall to 75% after 24 hours.
