WHAT	Lean Study Tour and Plant Gemba Walk — 7 instructional hours over 1 day, in person. Combines a flow simulation, a host plant gemba walk and White Belt certification. Capability level: Aware.
WHY	You will see a mature Lean system operating in a live manufacturing plant rather than reading about it, and hold a Lean White Belt credential at the end of the same day.
WHO	Open to all sectors. Leaders, engineers, technologists, supervisors and improvement practitioners who want to see Lean in practice before committing to a full program.
WHERE	In person only. Morning training and simulation at a nearby venue; afternoon gemba walk at the host manufacturing plant. Both locations are in Ontario.
WHEN	1 full day. Site access is arranged in advance and cohort size is capped by the host plant, so registration closes earlier than for other programs.
HOW	Morning: instructor-led Lean fundamentals plus a hands-on flow simulation game. Afternoon: structured gemba walk at the host plant with guided observation and reflection.
HOW MUCH	7 instructional hours. Scope of work after certification: see the waste already in your own work and speak about it with the correct language.
