Kick-off week for the Greenbelt Service Winter 2017 class!

Welcome Greenbelt Service Winter 2017 class! The first week is always the toughest as the teachers leave you overwhelmed by introducing all new lean knowledge, tools and techniques. However, by the end of the week the teams leave all smiles and with accomplished feelings because they know they are starting to get it! Looking forward to seeing you all back for module two!

Europe Benchmarking Tour
Dates: May 29th - June 2nd

While Lean Sensei is most known for its much-talked-about Japan Lean Tour program, did you know that we also conduct benchmarking trips to Germany, and Italy?  In fact, the Europe Lean Tour - which will tour Stuttgart and Munich in Germany, and Florence in Italy - is happening in May of this year.  The tour will visit some of the best lean factories in Europe, including BMW, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Lamborghini and even the million-dollar-plus, hand-crafted Pagani factory.

It's considered to be one of the most exclusive tours that we do, because we will have an access to some of the top lean talents in the world.

The Europe Lean Tour is also a "standard module" for our Master Blackbelt Program, and therefore our newest Master Blackbelts will be travelling with us to Europe as well.


Here are some of the photos from previous year's Europe program:

Florida Lean Tour
Dates:November 13th - February 15th

Not many people know that there is a Lean City right here on our continent. This unassuming city is none other than Jacksonville, Florida. Lean Sensei has specifically chosen to showcase six organizations for the Florida Benchmarking Tour. These companies demonstrate the possibilities when companies make the investment to pursue lean. Attendees of this tour have the opportunity to see first-hand how lean is applied in a wide array of industries.
