A major part of being an MBA is coming up with words for stuff everyone already knows.
My work has "gemba walks" which is where managers leave their office and ask employees if there are any issues that need to be addressed. They also practice "5S" which is where they make sure the tools workers need to do their job are located near where the job is done. Might as well practice "kawaya" or the idea that employees are provided areas to relieve themselves instead of pissing in bottles.
We have 5S.
The tool cabinets are in useful places but the keys for them are all back at the maintenance office.
They threw out the spare bolts because it was easier than organising them.
