Sodjit, who phrases her gemba as “where it’s at”, said “UD Gemba Spirit means continuously improving, being customer-driven, understanding the challenges, problems and opportunities and going the extra mile to support our customers”. She also added “I feel fulfilled at work when I know that I can support my team. We can sort out a problem and see a customer’s happy face”.

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.
