▼Day 2 in Bergamo: Scenes from the TPS Dojo

When the dojo was held at a company manufacturing electrical units, we were given a tour of the factory first, which we could reference during the training. Although the venue was cramped, we managed to set everything up just in time. The dojo began with greetings from the president and factory manager, creating a lively atmosphere among the colleagues.

On the final day, the original layout had to be changed early in the morning due to the placement of columns in the hotel, which disrupted the workflow.
Although some parts were hard to see because of the columns, we managed to secure walking paths and set everything up to ensure the training proceeded smoothly.
