Kamishibai (Board and Cards)

Abstract

A Kamishibai Board is a visual information management system used to plan and capture the results of process audits on the most critical processes in the organization. The primary purpose is to give leaders a schedule for when to audit a process and what behaviors to observe. A Kamishibai Board is often part of the Gemba, the location where work is performed. The board shows the status and results of the required audits for each team or group and displays notes about issues, risks, and corrective actions. The primary goal of the board is to enable immediate problem resolution.
