Gemba Walks are often done in a layered manner. At the lowest layer, the Department Manager does a daily walk, and an hourly associate presents the data. At these daily walks, it is common for the local maintenance mechanics, engineers, and QC technicians to participate.
LIDAR is similar to the radar commonly used to track everything from airplanes in flight to thunderstorms. But instead of bouncing radio waves off its target, LIDAR uses short pulses of laser light. Some of that light reflects off of tiny particles in the atmosphere and back to a telescope aligned with the laser.
Micro Pulse Lidar (MPL) can be used to make polarization sensitive measurements in order to measure co-polarized and cross-polarized backscatter signals. The addition of the polarization package is the most requested option.
