LeanMan Grand Car Factory Simulation

LeanMan Grand Car Factory Simulation

The LeanMan Grand Package provides all the necessary materials to completely explore the Lean Manufacturing implementation, with an executive overview and events that range from beginner to advanced. This is an excellent time to take advantage of the 2022 Sale Price! [see Reference 2022 Sales Price Comparison (PDF).] 

Deluxe Simulation

The Deluxe Kit includes the advanced 6-exercise TPS simulation event with Financial Metrics. This set of exercises follows closely the TPS Paper Airplane Simulation, but without all the wasted paper.

The deluxe kit also includes the Lean Principles Training Guide: Learning to See the Waste. This Power Point presentation and simulation is perfect for introducing executives and others to the value of lean, the entire presentation and two simulations can be completed in under one hour.

This deluxe kit will provide immediate presentation and simulation exercises suitable for all management levels including top management and associates. It then delves deeper into the art of Lean for those associates that require hands-on practical experience. Take a look at the Deluxe Car Factory Kit - and check out the details.

Door - to - Door Value Stream Simulation

The VSM Upgrade adds a 9-step transformation using the concepts of the VSM Value Stream Simulation.

For a full description of the VSM capabilities and material items, please see the Deluxe Plus VSM Car Factory Kit - and check out the details.

LeanMan-Deluxe-Plus-Kanban Simulation

The LM Kanban Simulation upgrade supplies the additional materials that turns the Grand Package into a fully integrated customer-driven value stream from customer to factory to supplier.

This simulation training will help participants understand how lean philosophy and techniques can be applied in a customer-pull product flow utilizing Kanban cards, signaling devices and Heijunka planning to control flow and inventory levels.

The LM Kanban Simulation is presented in four events - all four are a full value stream and utilize kaizen and inventory metrics to analyze flow; the last two events utilize the Heijunka planning method and Heijunka box to sequence flow. All events calculate the Earned Value; Margin as a percent of sales; and Inventory levels. All four events also introduce Little's Law metrics equation TH = WIP x CT. See Fun with Little's Law. For a more complete description of this simulation check out the Deluxe Plus Kanban Simulation Package full Value Stream lean training event.

Heijunka Box and Simulation

The Heijunka Upgrade simulation training will help participants understand how lean philosophy and techniques can be applied in a mixed-mode product cell to maximize customer value, minimize waste, reduce costs through workplace organization and visual controls, implement one-piece flow, instill quality at the source, and synchronize to customers needs using pull scheduling.

Developing Lean Eyes

The Developing Lean Eyes presentation is based on the Gestalt theory of group communication where "Learning to See What You Need To See" takes into account the various bits of educational bias and environment influence each member of a team brings to the group, and teaches each to look at the work environment with a new set of eyes.

Fun With Little's Law's and so much more

We have added some really fun things to the Grand Package, like the Large Group Simulation files; the Lean Eyes files; the ToyodaWay Game files; the VSMgt Service and Repair files and Fun with Little's Law files - all now included on the USB drive with no price increase! Enjoy! These are files only, no printed materials are in the box, but all files are on the USB and can be printed as needed.
