WHY WE NEED THIS SIMULATION

Lean Manufacturing shows the roadmap for industrial transformation to follow

The ‘lean manufacturing’ game is the most complete one from a methodological point of view.
For teams starting out in the lean culture, it allows us to define a roadmap. This roadmap goes through five phases of improvement, introducing increasingly complex methodologies in each phase.

WHAT IT ALLOWS US TO TRANSMIT

A roadmap for ongoing improvement

The simulation allows to visualise the implementation of the main lean tools and their impact on the process outcome. Using a three-station process as a working basis, the simulation recreates the implementation sequence of the main lean techniques. Throughout each phase of the simulation, the team will learn how to implement the VSM, 5S, SMED, flow creation, kanban and pull flow methodologies. The simulation goes through the following improvement phases:

A process can only be improved if it is robust and predictable. That is why the basic tools to implement are those that ensure standardisation of the process (5S, standard work, etc.).

A second step to work on when the process is already stable and robust is to develop actions to have more agile processes. In addition, this agility will allow working with more product types, more references or customers without the change from one to another entailing a loss of efficiency.

When the process is stable and agile in changes, it is possible to implement those tools that allow connecting customer and supplier operations in the same flow. In this step, we intend that all the processes of the same chain act at the same pace and respecting the customer’s needs.

Finally, when the client and supplier processes are in perfect synchronisation, it is possible to propose improvement activities which allow all operations to be concentrated and unified in a single process, thus simplifying the management of the entire flow.

When the process is standard and repetitive, it is possible to develop a process to automate operations. For this, Value Stream Mapping is the tool that allows the design of a new future situation to be achieved.

The game helps everyone involved to be part of the solution

methodology STEP BY STEP

The development of a phased training is revealing and instructive because it helps to generate knowledge in each of the phases, as participants identify the effects of each of the changes introduced with respect to the previous phase. The Apex Mindset games are structured as follows:

1 Introduction

At the beginning of each phase, definition of the challenge and the scope of the problem faced by the team.

2 Training

Explanation of the theoretical contents to be applied so as to solve the problem posed by the game.

3 Implementation

Development of the game phase applying the concepts explained in the training process

4 Learning

Review of the results and assessment of the contribution of each of the concepts introduced. Moving on to the next phase

The game helps everyone involved to be part of the solution

The trainer must be an expert in facilitating games and simulations with experience in leading improvement teams.

Game to be played in a large room so that players and observers can share and participate in the experience.

The game is designed to take between 1 and 4 hours depending on the training content.

All in one box: all you need for the game facilitation and development is included in the product box.
