Japan Lean Manufacturing Trip

• Our tour is the only way to get exclusive access to Japanese Lean executives.
• All of the necessary arrangements are carefully made by Enna to ensure comfort and security.
• Experience world-class Lean practices as well as both modern and traditional Japanese culture.
• Group discounts are available.

No other company besides Enna has access to Lean facilities and top management executives due to our close relationship with Japanese companies and the publications of Dr. Shingos works (original consultant to Toyota). This will be a great experience for any leader and student of Lean. You will have one-on-one exclusive access to Japanese Lean thinkers and learn from their experiences and simple solutions.

Topics covered are; TPS, Employee Empowerment, SMED, TPM, Lean Accounting, Flow, 5S Office, 5S Shop floor, Waste Identification, Mistake-Proofing, Just-In-Time, VSM.




Observe and talk to workers on the shop floor and get involved in their Lean practices. Japanese companies are eager to share their accumulated wealth of knowledge with international businesses and explain how they have learned from their mistakes and improved overall operation as a result.

Learn from their techniques so you can leverage their experience in order to avoid common implementation and sustainment mistakes in your own factory. The relationships you will build with Japanese host companies will inspire your company in pursuit of continuous improvement for many years to follow. Cultural differences have discouraged many Lean companies from making a trip to Japan. We make sure that such differences in cultures and languages do not stand in the way of your studying Lean principles in the birthplace of TPS.

We have arranged experienced tour guides, interpreters, and professors to make your learning experience truly revolutionary. On the last day, we will have the opportunity to visit some unique sightseeing areas in and around Kyoto. This is a prime opportunity to take some time to absorb a unique culture and people as well. May 31 - June 6, 2009.
