 Gemba is Japanese for the place where the problem has happened. Gembutsu is Japanese for the actual information.
Consequently, gemba gembutsu is actual information obtained at the scene of the problem. Therefore gemba gembutsu kaizen would be improvement established as a consequence of information from the problem scene.
