“…Gemba's idea is to manage processes directly from where production takes place, not from behind a desk in an office. It is necessary to personally walk through the workplace so that those in charge are aware of the context, the needs, and the problems related to production [5,48,49]. Only in this way can weaknesses or pre-existing problems be detected.…”

The world is undergoing dynamic changes. For businesses, it brings positives, but also negatives. The positive is the global market for business. The downside of the global market is the increasing competitive pressure. Large enterprises with serial production who are setting production for a longer period ahead are not so noticeable. Small companies are the most vulnerable. There are various tools or overall approaches to business management that allow them to increase work efficiency or production productivity or eliminate waste. In recent years, one can see an increase in the popularity of Lean or Six Sigma. Their contribution to businesses cannot be disputed. Most of the tools and approaches to support business management are oriented or based on the conditions of serial production. Small businesses with piece production are at a disadvantage here. It was this fact that motivated us to focus on piece production and to find space for the implementation of supporting tools that could be helpful. Our research has shown that there are tools that can be applied in the conditions of piece production. The application of the identified tools proved that the results achieved in reducing production times or increasing productivity are unmistakable.
