Roots of Lean

Lean Tour to Japan



Are you working with lean development?

Is your organization facing a lean transformation?

Or are you just interested in lean?


Now you have a chance to go and see for yourself, how lean principles are practiced in the country where it all origins from – Japan.


Every year in April BestBrains is arranging a "go to the Gemba" trip, where we will visit Japanese companies and talk to the people in charge, to learn how they implement lean-methods in their businesses.


Through BestBrains' exclusive  Japanese network you will get to meet leaders and visit companies who have been working with quality, flow and constant improvements much longer than most western companies.


The tour program is be packed with an array of professional activities to learn from Japanese companies' experiences with effective

production and product development, guided by visual management and respect for people. We are planning visits to several leading Japanese companies and meet with renowned Japanese lean experts.

"The Lean tour allowed me to see firsthand how continual  improvement and common principles I'd only read about were applied at companies such as Toyota. I met great people and had an amazing time. I highly recommend the tour."

"Extremely inspiring and well-organized! One of the core principles of Lean is Genchi Genbutsu - go and see for yourself. So we went and saw. I've done a lot of Lean coaching and lived in Japan for 15 years so I wasn't sure I'd learn anything new - but going back there with 'Lean glasses' on I met so many interesting people and saw so many interesting things that I've realized my Lean journey has only just begun."
