Gemba Symmetry™ · Patent pending
Enterprise Electronic Control SaaS
Gemba Symmetry is a different kind of enterprise system. ERP records activity. Gemba Symmetry is designed to control it, on process steps instead of departments, with records generated by the work itself.
Architecture
Three planes, one record
The value of the system is held in the record, not in screens or code, so the record cannot be lost when an interface changes.
Strategic Alignment Configurator
Top management's objectives, contract review planning and the management review that compares planned and measured OCFR.
The single record
One multi-tenant database where every reading, verdict and decision is held. Each company's data is kept separate.
Shop-floor tablets
Operators see the job traveler in sequence, the next step highlighted, the machine loading schedule and the drawing. The tablet displays; the record decides.
Design rules
Built so the evidence can be trusted
- Computed verdictsConforming or not conforming is calculated by the system, never typed in or worked out on the screen.
- Append-only recordsNothing is overwritten or deleted. Older records are archived and remain searchable.
- No data is not good dataA missing reading is recorded as missing, and is never counted as conforming.
- The nonconformity is the corrective actionOne record from the first entry, carrying disposition, cause, action and proof of effectiveness.
- Computation-gated closureA corrective action closes only when the results show the process is back in its band.
- Calibration with consequencesA device found out of tolerance is blocked from use, and product measured with it since its last calibration is listed for review by job.
- Trained before it takes effectA revised work instruction becomes active only when the people who run it have been trained on that revision.
Fits your operation
Works with the systems you have
Gemba Symmetry connects to ERP systems by API and draws its data from them. Data can also be entered by hand, and users can export their records.
Each subscribing company defines its own roles under four tiers: top management, executive management, middle management and supervision. One person can hold roles across companies, as a remote quality manager or internal auditor does.
Scope
ISO 9001 first, other standards on the same foundation
The platform is built first as an ISO 9001:2026 system for manufacturers, in discrete and process industries. Further standards will be added as overlays on the same foundation rather than as separate systems.
Gemba Symmetry builds on more than twenty years of paperless management system work, including U.S. Patents 6,994,258 and 7,410,101. See the patents →
