Our Commitment to Lean Agile Excellence
AboutGemba Solutions
Founded on the principle that the best solutions come from understanding the real work, we bring lean agile methodologies to every project we touch.
Our Story
Gemba Solutions was born from a simple observation: too many technology projects fail because they're built in isolation from the real work they're meant to support. Based in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, our roots are deeply embedded in the principles of practical, on-the-ground problem-solving.
Our founder spent years in manufacturing and technology, witnessing firsthand how lean principles could transform not just production lines, but entire business operations. This experience shaped our core philosophy: understand the work before you try to improve it.
Today, we apply these same principles to software development, bringing the discipline of lean manufacturing to the world of digital solutions. Every line of code we write serves a purpose, every feature we build solves a real problem.
Our Core Values
These principles guide every decision we make and every solution we build.
Go to the Gemba
We believe in seeing the real work firsthand. Understanding happens at the source, not in conference rooms.
Continuous Improvement
Every project is an opportunity to learn and improve. We embrace kaizen in everything we do.
Respect for People
The best solutions come from empowering people. We build technology that enhances human capability.
Eliminate Waste
Every feature, every line of code must add value. We ruthlessly eliminate anything that doesn't serve the user.
Quality First
We build it right the first time. Quality isn't inspected in - it's built in from the start.
Long-term Thinking
We build relationships and solutions that last. Short-term gains never compromise long-term value.
Our Approach
How we apply lean agile principles to deliver exceptional software solutions.
Observe & Understand
We start every project with a gemba walk, observing the current state and understanding the real challenges your team faces.
Define Value
Together, we identify what truly adds value for your customers and eliminate everything that doesn't contribute to that goal.
Build & Iterate
We deliver working software in short cycles, gathering feedback and improving continuously based on real usage.
Optimize & Scale
Once the solution is working, we help you optimize processes and scale the benefits across your organization.
