Finally a training tool that transforms MRP supporters into MRP-LEAN advocates and champions.

Bill Gaw's Lean Manufacturing Simulation Game, demonstrates the benefits of pull production and production cells (lean manufacturing) versus push/batch production (MRP). The game compares batch or push production techniques to one piece pull production using sequential production and point-of-use methodology. It shows how quality and productivity improve while reducing WIP inventory, scrap, rework, and floor space. The game has been designed for 6-12 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.

For more than 10 years, our customers have looked to Business Basics as a trusted developer of manufacturing tutorials, seminars, courses and training materials. Training options that help improve the spirit and performance of individuals, teams, organizations and companies.

One of our customer saying it even better than we can:

"Your manufacturing training materials are the easiest and fastest way to understand the practicalities of lean manufacturing that I have seen in many years of management consulting activity. I intend to use them in my practice, if you are agreeable, since I am now extending into new consulting areas."

Lean Manufacturing Simulation Game

Organizations that are lean, agile, and quick to
respond clearly have the edge."
Price Pritchett

Simulation exercises to help manufacturing teams team understand:

* The pros and cons of "push" vs, "pull" manufacturing systems
* The root cause of shop floor chaos and workplace stress
* The importance of line 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 a lean manufacturing initiative.

It's time to wake up to reality and these intensive, action learning exercises are providing the wake up call. Sequential production and point-of-use logistics boosts production 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 Bill Gaw's Lean Manufacturing Simulation Game consistently outperform their competitors. 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:

Lean Manufacturing Simulation Game

Action-Learning Featuring:

MRP Order Picking in the Stockroom

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 production factory simulations for comparing the effectiveness of two distinct production methods:

Game Process Synopsis

Active participation for 6 to 12 people with sideline observation note taking by up to 20 observers.

Team builds 20 Lego Towers of two configurations, 6 MRP subassemblies... from 320 LEGO Bricks.

MRP (Push) simulation includes stockroom, shop order picking and subassembly production. Time to complete: 15-45 minutes depending on team skill level.

Lean manufacturing simulation sets up a "one- piece" flow production line using JIT and kanbans. Time to complete: 5-10 minutes depending on team skill level.

A post-forum review initiates a discussion of the pros and cons of each methodology.

The Lean Manufacturing Simulation Game will clearly demonstrate the complexity of shop floor control under a standard MRP (Push) production 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 line 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.

Another customer saying it even better than we can:

Bill,

Thank you for your permission. We have already purchased and used the lean Manufacturing Simulation Game and have found it of great value in demonstrating lean concepts.

Regards,
