Here’s a holiday treat for my regular Lean Blog readers and podcast listeners, a song parody, “Gemba Claus is Comin’ to Town.” Press play in the embedded player.
Gemba Claus is Comin’ to Town
Lyrics by Mark Graban
Performance by Steve Sholtes
Oh, you’d better watch out
You’d better kaizen
You’d better not pout, I’m tellin’ ya then
Gemba Claus is comin’ to town
He’s making a list
Just checking it once
Doin’ it twice would waste a whole bunch
Gemba Clause is comin’ to town
He sees you when you’re waitin’
He knows when your work flows
He knows if changeovers are too long
So do SMED for goodness sake
Oh, you’d watch out
You’d better not pause
You’d better not pout
Find the real root cause
Gemba Claus is comin’ to Town!

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
