NEW! Lean Office Simulation

This simulation is designed to show how using Cellular Processing of the "office information product" substantially reduces the office information product lead-time (which is one component of the organization's total customer lead-time) while improving team work, quality, and productivity.

SIMULATION #1: In a typical organization, everything is departmentalized. Producing the office information product (for example processing a new customer order) is completed in a batch/push production departmentalized environment which creates inventory (wip), motion, and transportation waste. Team work does not develop since the departments do not have common goals. There is no cross training between departments.

SIMULATION #2: In a cellular office organization, every department that touches a particular office information product (for example processing a new customer order) contributes a person to the new cell. Producing the office information product is completed in a pull production environment which eliminates/reduces inventory (wip), motion, and transportation waste. Team work develops now because the team has a common goal. Cross training is required. Productivity and quality improve.

 

Simulation includes:

•  Written and video instructions

•  PowerPoint slides

•  All materials required to run simulation

Simulation takes 1 1/2 hours to complete and requires 11 people to participate.


"This is a great tool to kick off an office Kaizen Event!"

"We had a lot of fun with this activity, and everyone said they got something out of it!"

Error Proofing & Problem Solving Simulation

 

Kit includes simulations for both Error Proofing and Problem Solving. The kit is designed for up to three teams (six associates per team) who have been trained in Problem Solving Tools, and should be facilitated by an experienced Team & Problem Solving Trainer. The Simulation Kit gives the team a chance to use their Problem Solving Tools and Error Proofing techniques in a simulated, yet "business-like" environment, and confirms their understanding of these techniques through the use of team "report-out" activities.

Problem Solving:


This simulation kit provides an opportunity to actually use the following tools:

• Problem Definition
• Fishbone Diagram and Multi-voting
• 5 Whys
• Brainstorming
• Developing an Action Plan

This exercise takes approximately 3 hours to complete.

Error Proofing :


After teams have been trained in Problem Solving, this Error Proofing Simulation is to be used as part of an Error/Mistake Proofing class. This exercise teaches the team how to apply the following Error Proofing techniques:

• Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA)
• Detection in Station
• Successive Checking

This exercise takes approximately 1.5 hours to complete.

New! 5S Simulation

Purpose of Simulation:  This simulation is designed to be used as part of a 5S training class and illustrates the productivity improvements that 5S activities can produce.  Teams also learn how to do a 5S audit, and practice using a "real world" manufacturing example. The simulatin has two rounds (before and after 5S for an Assembly Line) and requires 9 people to operate. The simulation takes approximately 90 minutes to complete. The kit includes instructions and 15 PowerPoint slides.

Flow Simulation (Box Game)

                          Kit Components

The Flow Simulation (box game) is an enlightening demonstration of the benefits of one-piece flow pull manufacturing and manufacturing cells versus push/batch manufacturing.

The game compares batch or push manufacturing techniques (traditional manufacturing) to one piece pull manufacturing using Manufacturing Cells. It shows how quality and productivity improve while reducing WIP inventory, rework, product through time and floor space required. It also illustrates how Setup Reduction and Total Produtive Maintenance are a prerequisite to Pull Manufacturing.

The game requires that you set up a 20'x20' factory with four folding tables and requires 7 people to run the factory. The factory assembles a product (6"x3"x3" Styrofoam box). Three different ways to run the factory are compared (Push 6, Pull 6, and Pull 1). The game takes about 1.5 hours to complete.  Includes an instructional video on DVD.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING.....

"The Box Game allowed our entire company to actually experience the difference between a push vs. a pull production environment. It sets the stage for your team to start thinking about a completely different and more effective production process and the associated benefits that result. Our folks loved it!"
