Brian Rhodes, Strategos Trainer, briefs for the simulation.

Lean Simulation

A production team prepares for the Lean version of the simulation.

Lean Manufacturing Orientation

For The Shop

This workshop and simulation game is the perfect initial orientation for workers moving to Lean Manufacturing. In it, participants operate Lego blocks. They redesign their factory in stages, measure the results and learn underlying principles.

The program includes lecture, video and a lean simulation. The simulation is carefully designed in clear stages to show the effects of each element. A rigorous debriefing ensures that participants internalize the principles. This debriefing includes morale and psychological issues as well as the technical aspects of lean.
