This on-site physical visit will include an introduction to PakMarkas and its production processes, a Gemba visit, a genuine practical problem-solving exercise (you will be asked to study part of the process and brainstorm ideas to resolve an issue PakMarkas would like the group to address), and a pre-visit group discussion and dinner.

If you would like to apply for a place, please complete this application form no later than 24 July. For the terms and conditions please refer to the main Lean in Europe webpage.

Given the competitive nature of the process, and the limited number of places, not everyone who applies will get a place. You should NOT book any flights or hotel stays until you have received an email from the EU-Japan Centre confirming that you have been allocated a place on the activity. Anyone who does make such bookings now, does so at their own risk. Even after places have been confirmed, should the EU-Japan Centre have to postpone / cancel / restrict participation for coronavirus-related reasons, the EU-Japan Centre cannot be held liable to refund your travel / accommodation / other costs.

Whilst your company is welcome to apply for more than one place, depending upon the numbers of places available and suitable applicants, the EU-Japan Centre may limit places to one per company.

This will be a two-day visit (first day: evening pre-meeting and group dinner; day two: company presentations, gemba visits, problem-solving exercise and de-briefing).

Any questions? Please e-mail lean@eu-japan.eu or call +32 2 282 0047.
