The UD Gemba Challenge is based on the idea of the gemba spirit. The gemba spirit is something that all UD Trucks frontline people have. It is the passion that drives them to go the extra mile for our customers. We call it the gemba spirit, because it lives in our dealer network, which we call the gemba – where the value is created for our customers.
Every day thousands of UD colleagues embody the gemba spirit and serve customers all over the world. This year, the UD Gemba Challenge 2018 is an opportunity to celebrate these efforts! The UD Gemba Challenge is a perfect stage to showcase the best aftermarket competence and talent, and to recognize the excellent work that is done in the gemba every single day.
As teamwork is such an important part of success in the workshop, the UD Gemba Challenge is a team competition. The first 2 rounds of the competition are a mixture of theoretical, commercial and brand related questions. The best teams are then invited to the final, which will be held in Ageo in Japan, the home of UD Trucks.
