Lean Flow Exercise

Description

The Lean Building Brick Flow Simulation is a staple of any Lean training library. It is designed to help people see the benefit of flow over batching in a non-threatening environment. Trainees will team up to develop driver's consoles for our Vel-ActionKart, a fictional product. They will progressively reduce inventory, and eventually take advantage of some kaizen opportunities. Our Lean Building Brick Flow Simulation is a training tool designed to show the benefit of Lean and one piece flow. It walks trainees through the process of reducing batch sizes from 6 to 3 and then to 1. It follows this up with an additional two rounds of kaizen activity. In the first round, they simply move the work stations close to each other in a 'cell' orientation. In the second kaizen round, they are allowed to make any additional changes they want. The goal is to highlight the benefit from simply reducing inventory in a system, as well as some other key Lean concepts. Trainees will be assigned to work stations where they will build a small building brick model. A material handler will transport batches, and other trainees will act as waste observers. This is a fun, engaging activity that will help you convert your team to Lean thinking.
