Onsite Workshop-Lean Manufacturing Orientation
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.
