“We learned how to approach Kaizen – Empowering your people to come up with the ideas instead of doing it all yourself, that’s been a huge mind shift.”
“After arriving in Japan, I came to realize that there was something more than just tools or methods. What I found was, without a doubt, that business was based on respect to people, machines, and environment.”
“It’s really the seeing. Seeing how all of the tools and components of Lean come together on the floor and work. The opportunity to see Lean where it was invented and to talk with executives of these companies is nothing but sensational.”
“Visual communication is the most striking. I wanted to see what a visual factory was. I read about it in textbooks, but it is something you have to see.”
“I saw all of the Lean practices in action, but I saw more than that. I also discovered better insight into the philosophies behind world-class Lean organizations.”
“You talk to plant managers and Lean experts; learning how they address problems and being able to observe problems on the shop floor makes the connection so powerful and so strong that it is hard to imagine getting this type of exposure in any other way.”

Tour Leaders:
Jun is currently the Executive Director of Enna and contributes in a number of ways by being the tour leader for his Lean and cultural expertise. Jun has intimate knowledge of the true Kaizen as well as both Western and Japanese system of leadership development and management. This is extremely valuable as he is able to differentiate for you the difference between Japanese ways of approaching Lean and that of western companies. He will explain to you the intricacies of the Japanese System.
As well, He is also actively involved in designing Enna’s tours based on the wisdom that he has gained from coaching Kaizen to businesses in various countries.

He is so encouraged to see the growth of every participant on the tour that it emboldens him to continue to offer this experience. It truly is a very rewarding job to help and watch people grow in their professional development.
