Fuse values face-to-face communication at gemba. She mentions the reason as “This sort of direct communication allows me to pick up small details that I would otherwise have missed by telephone or in an e-mail exchange”. She also says “To me, the UD Gemba Spirit guides my working methods and It also shapes the way we work at UD; we keep in close communication with our colleagues, and combine our knowledge and experience to solve an issue most effectively. I like this UD culture of sharing knowledge and experience”.

Gemba is a Japanese word that describes where action takes place and value is created, from the factory floor to dealerships to customer facilities. It is the place where UD people interact with their customers, so the Japanese will talk about 'their gemba' and 'their customers' gemba'. Wherever it is, gemba is a place to listen and understand, to seek out opportunities for improvement.

The UD Gemba Spirit videos feature actual UD colleagues working at their own Gemba. The purpose of the videos is to promote the UD brand and to show how UD Trucks colleagues go the Extra Mile at their Gemba (workplace) by focusing on colleagues and their personal and passionate stories.
