Title- Development of a Platform for Lean Manufacturing Simulation Games
Abstract- More than ever, the economic globalization is creating the need to increase business competitiveness. Lean Manufacturing is a management philosophy oriented for the elimination of activities that do not create any type of value and are considered waste. One of the main differences to other management philosophies is the shop floor focus and operators involvement. Therefore, the training of all organization levels is crucial for the success of Lean Manufacturing. Universities should also participate actively in this process by developing student’s Lean management skills, promoting better and faster student integration into their future organizations. This article proposes a single realistic manufacturing platform, involving production and assembly operations, to learn by playing many of the Lean tools like, VSM, 5S, SMED, Poke-Yoke, Line Balance, TPM, Mizusumashi, Plant Layout, and JIT/Kanban. This simulation game was built in tight cooperation with experienced lean companies under the international program “LLA-Lean Learning Academy”1, and its main aim is to make bachelor and master courses in applied sciences more attractive by integrating classic lectures with a simulated production environment, that could lead to more motivated students and higher study yields. The simulation game results show that our approach is efficient in providing a realistic platform for the effective learning of Lean principles, tools and mindset, which can be easily, included into less than two hours course classes.
