• DURATION 30-45 minutes
• GROUP SIZE 5 participants per team

The 5S Numbers Game Simulation is an animated slide show which can be used to demonstrate the importance of each “S” in 5S. It is well suited for use in a transactional/computer screen environment but can be useful in production operations too.

• TARGET AUDIENCE Employees, Practitioner (belt), Supervisor/Manager
• DURATION 30 minutes
• GROUP SIZE Classroom Simulation

The Golf Tee Simulation is based upon an old fashioned, low tech game which uses a small board and golf tees. It is a fun and simple simulation that demonstrates the need and power of standard work.

• TARGET AUDIENCE Employees, Practitioner (belt), Supervisor/Manager
• DURATION 30-45 minutes
• GROUP SIZE 2-3 participants per game board (10 games included)

The Inventions Simulation is a quick exercise to demonstrate the power of a team. During the exercise, the teams will estimate when a particular invention occurred. It can also be used to show how some of the Kaizen rules can be applied.

• TARGET AUDIENCE All
• DURATION 45-60 minutes
• GROUP SIZE 4-5 participants per team

The Lean Principles Sim teaches the principles of Genba walks, daily management, and active listening skills through this interactive simulation.  Students are given a ‘challenge’ and by solving the problem Lean principles are emphasized.

• TARGET AUDIENCE Managers, Supervisors, and Executives
• DURATION 1 hour
• GROUP SIZE 5 participants per team

Train the Trainer Time: 1 day for the entire bundle

Please allow 4-6 weeks for shipping.

Car Production Sim is a basic simulation lacking some of the complexities found in ProdSIM® and TruckSIM. It can be used to help teach and reinforce basic Lean concepts. The simulation is flexible and can be used for three to five rounds of Lean concept application.

This simulation is a great way of applying the Learn-Do model of learning. The facilitator can teach new concepts between rounds and let the participants apply the new concepts in the simulation. This approach strengthens retention and understanding of how to apply the Lean concepts.

This is an introduction to Little’s Law. Little’s Law mathematically calculates lead time. Learning this Lean principle allows practitioners to understand the impact of WIP (work in process), and process cycle time. Because customer lead time is critical to any business, this is an excellent foundational tool to master.

Are you looking for an entertaining and informative way to teach a group of people the concepts of Lean? PRODSim® is a method of simulating a simplified production floor environment using plastic blocks. Each participant will assume a role in the production process which will contribute to the success of the team. The simulation consists of a series of orders which must be properly fulfilled to the customer in a timely manner. Scores are calculated based upon similar metrics used in production such as labor, raw material and WIP cost, space, cost of poor quality, etc. The simulation has several opportunities for the team to review their production cost, their current process, forms of waste in the process and to proposed techniques to reduce wastes and improve profitability.

TruckSim is a moderately complex simulation which extends from the transactional aspects of production planning to the production and delivery of a product which may be modified to meet several different custom options. It can be used by the students to help them learn and reinforce the basic Lean concepts. The simulation is flexible and can be used for three to five rounds of Lean concept application. The facilitator can teach new concepts between rounds and let the participants apply the new concepts in the simulation. This approach strengthens retention and understanding of how to apply the Lean concepts. It can be applied with a training class from one to four days in duration.
