Gemba walkers

English to Spanish Bus/Financial Manufacturing quality management systems
You may be surprised to learn that we also recommend Gemba walks for internal customers
(e.g., purchasing, supply chain planners) and site support functions (e.g., human resources,
finance). We believe that both the visited areas and the Gemba walkers benefit significantly
from the insights and discussions generated during these walks.

Is there maybe someone in this forum who's familiar with the Spanish term they use for "Gemba walkers?"
Thank you in advance for any ideas and suggestions.

caminantes gemba

As the website of the Kaizen Insitute translates gemba walk as caminata gemba or paseo por el gemba, those who conduct the field visit could be called caminantes gemba.

Another word that might better convey the role of the walkers is visitador, but the literal translation is most common to find.
Peer comment(s):

agree Daniel Delgado : Es muy común la jerga "caminatas de seguridad". Nunca escuché "caminantes de seguridad", pero parece válido para Gemba. Alternativa: "quienes participan en la/una caminata Gemba"
