Our team of lean consultants is comprised of highly-experienced professionals based in Australia, Japan, South America, North America and Europe, and includes Japanese veteran factory managers from Toyota Motor Corporation and bilingual senior consultants.

Our know-how comes directly from Japanese industry. Our expertise lies in leveraging this know-how within different cultural settings and industries. Through lean consulting support and the application of the Shinka Management Way our lean manufacturing consultants support our clients in developing their people and processes to leverage world-class lean practices.

We leverage our on-site and online training curriculum to share our passion for Japanese management practices. Our lean training programs include a range of learning experiences including hands-on practical exercises, workshops, on-site improvement activities and live and video-based factory tours.

Our flagship lean training program, the Lean Japan Tour, was first run in 2007 and provides our clients from manufacturing and non-manufacturing industries with the opportunity to not only develop a correct understanding of lean principles, but also to learn about implementation and management practices through visits to world-class lean companies and meetings with veteran managers. The Lean Japan Tour provides professional development for participants through a mix of seminars, Japanese industry visits and hands-on training, allowing them to learn the principles, see them in action and practice implementing them, all whilst experiencing the best of Japanese management culture and hospitality.
