ShowTime, the manufacturing simulation game, demonstrates the benefits of pull manufacturing and manufacturing cells (lean Manufacturing) versus push/batch manufacturing. The game compares batch or push manufacturing techniques (traditional manufacturing) to one piece pull manufacturing using sequential production. It shows how quality and productivity improve while reducing WIP inventory, scrap, rework, and floor space required. The game has been designed for 6-8 participants with unlimited observers. It is based upon each participant taking an active role in running a mini-production line where ‘real’ products are manufactured.

Are You and Your Company Ready for a Change?

• Are you tired of workplace chaos cause by MRP or ERP?

• Do you want to eliminate costly end-of-the-month scrambling?

• Do you desire to earn well deserved recognition and rewards?

• Do you want to create a fun working environment?

• Does your company want to increase speed, improve quality while reducing operating costs?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you no doubt will find value for whatever time you spend reviewing the manufacturing simulation game on this Web page. If you are in search of a better way to run your business, you have come to the right place. 

Your lean manufacturing simulation game will not 
be found anyplace else. Not at Amazon.com, 
neither in the library of APICS, nor in the 
Harvard Business School Press.

"The more you know how to do, and the 
better you do it, the more valuable you become."

Simulation exercises to help your team understand:

• Why and how  MRP/ERP create "high-cost" shop floor chaos

• How to eliminate shop floor chaos and "end-of-the-month" stress

• The importance of demand flow® technology

• The power of sequential production and point-of-use logistics

• How to move from "firefighting" to proactive problem solving

• How to successfully implement lean manufacturing

It's time to wake up to reality and this intensive, action learning exercise is providing the wake up call. Sequential production and point-of-use logistics boosts manufacturing performance. Its methodology has proven to help manufacturing companies decrease cycle times, improve on-time deliveries, decrease operating costs and improve customer satisfaction. Companies that understand and implement the concepts demonstrated in "ShowTime!" consistently outperform their competitor. Lean manufacturing simulation exercises provide an effective methodology for identifying and achieving a company's full growth and profit potential. Below are some of the program highlights:

Manufacturing Simulation Game

Action-Learning Featuring:

• Detailed instructions that describe how each exercise is set up and carried out. Also instructions on what non-participants should be watching and recording for the "after game forum."

• Hands-on participation by teams that will setup  MRP and lean  manufacturing factory simulations for comparing the effectiveness of two distinct manufacturing methodologies:

• The MRP/ERP Manufacturing Simulation Game will clearly demonstrate the complexity of shop floor control under a standard MRP/ERP (Push) manufacturing system. The opening of shop orders, picking of parts, building of assemblies and the final product production process are carried out in real-time.

• The Lean Manufacturing Simulation Game is a demonstration of how sequential production and point-of-use logistics can turn a marginally successful product lines into a huge winners.

• Cycle Time Management is demonstrated and recorded, pros and cons of each methodology recorded and post exercise forum drive home the lean manufacturing paradigm.
