A Question -- Email From a Listener:
But I was prompted to think about this recently when I received an email from a podcast listener:
"So I heard an interesting distinction between Gemba and Genba today.
The M version is a place of work
The N version is a place of investigation (used by Japanese police).
So you go to the place of work before you go to the place of investigation."
Hmmm. I had never heard that. So I thought I'd do a little research and check with friends who have varying levels of Japanese language skills.
