About
Who We Are
Practical engineers. Real problems. Your facility.

Gemba Technical Consulting was built on a simple premise: the best engineering happens on the floor, not in a conference room. We bring experienced engineers directly to your facility — embedded in your operations, working alongside your team.

Whether you're launching a new program, running lean on headcount, or battling a production problem that won't quit, we close the gap fast. We don't send junior staff or remote advisors. You get senior engineers who've stood where you're standing.

Based in Windsor, Ontario, we serve manufacturers across the automotive corridor and beyond — from Tier 1 suppliers to full-scale OEM operations.

01
Initial Assessment
We scope the problem, understand your constraints, and define what success looks like.
02
On-Site Deployment
An engineer is placed in your facility — embedded in your team, working your hours.
03
Execute & Deliver
Problems get solved, layouts get designed, processes get optimized. Documented and handed off.
04
Continued Support
Need ongoing coverage or a permanent hire? We scale with you.
現場
The Gemba Principle
現場 — The Actual Place

In Japanese, gemba (現場) means "the actual place" — the specific location where work happens and value is created. In manufacturing, it's the floor. The line. The press.

We took the name because it defines our approach: engineering delivered on-site, in your operation, where the real work is.

Capabilities
What We Do
Six core disciplines, all delivered on-site.
SVC — 01
Contract Engineering
Staffing
Temporary or permanent engineer placement for manufacturers who need qualified people fast. We maintain a network of vetted industrial engineers ready to deploy.
Contract Permanent Hire Rapid Deploy
SVC — 02
Plant Layout &
CAD Engineering
AutoCAD design, equipment placement, facility re-layouts, and as-built documentation. We produce drawings that manufacturing teams can actually use.
AutoCAD Equipment Layout As-Builts
SVC — 03
Launch &
Program Support
Machinery relocation, tooling adjustments, ergonomic improvements, and contractor coordination during new program launches and facility expansions.
Program Launch Tooling Contractor Coord.
SVC — 04
Process Engineering
& Optimization
Downtime reduction, flow improvement, time studies, and lean enhancements. We identify waste and build sustainable, measurable improvements.
Lean Time Studies Flow Analysis
SVC — 05
Technical
Documentation
Work instructions, SOPs, visual aids, and operator training materials. Documentation that reflects how the process actually runs — not how it was designed to run.
Work Instructions SOPs Visual Aids Training Materials
SVC — 06
Production &
Industrial Engineering
Work measurement, workstation design, ergonomics analysis, and workflow enhancement across production and assembly environments.

Decision Guide
When to Call Us
If any of these sound familiar, we should talk.
01
You have a launch deadline and not enough engineers
Program ramp, new model year, facility expansion — you're running lean and the timeline won't move. We embed fast and deliver immediately.
Capacity Gap
02
A production problem is costing you every shift
Downtime, quality escapes, bottlenecks you can't diagnose. We show up, find the root cause, and fix it — not just report on it.
Immediate Issue
03
Your facility layout needs to change for a new program
New equipment, re-routing material flow, space constraints for a new cell. We design it, document it, and can coordinate the move.
Layout Change
04
You need engineering coverage without a full-time hire
Headcount freezes, seasonal ramps, or just one specific project — we provide qualified engineers on your terms, not ours.
Flexible Staffing
05
You're losing time to ergonomic issues or inefficient workflows
Operator fatigue, injury risk, cycle time variance — these are engineering problems with engineering solutions. We solve them at the station level.
Optimization
04
Sectors
Industries We Serve
Deep experience in the environments that demand the most.
