The LEAN IN EUROPE VISITS ran from 2013 to 2024 and consisted of two-day activities - an evening group discussion and networking dinner on the first night and a site visit with detailed explanations, a gemba tour and debriefing on the morning and early afternoon of the second day. They were designed to inspire the participants along their companies' lean journeys and provide valuable feedback to the host companies. Learn more
