About Lean Lego Game
Who is Lean Lego Game for?
Since we all deal with and use processes in some form both at work and home, Lean Manufacturing training is useful for everybody. Yet, its usually taken by Buffalo students working in manufacturing or service provision. In our course, Buffalo students learn:
Lean Lego Game Course Overview:
Rather than death by PowerPoint, experience waste, push vs. pull processes, kanban, kaizen, systems thinking, and work cells in a fun exercise. This workshop is intended for students fairly early in their Lean journey but can be a fun refresher for more advanced practitioners. It can be run in either a short or longer session which never goes past half-day. A typical day looks like this:
| Iteration | Description | Duration (min) |
|---|---|---|
| Introduction | 20 | |
| 1 | Build Houses using a push system | 10 |
| Retrospective focused on families of waste, push vs. pull, and kanban | 20 | |
| 2 | Build Houses | 10 |
| Retrospective focused on level-loading, systems thinking, and work cells | 20 | |
| 3 | Build Houses | 10 |
| Retrospective focused on kaizen | 20 | |
| 4 | Build Houses | 10 |
| Retrospective | 20 | |
| Conclusion | 20 | |
| Total | 160 |
A short session uses three iterations. A longer session uses all four.

If Buffalo won't work for you, don't worry. MBB Consulting™ also offers Lean Lego Game in the following recommended cities plus many more:
Buffalo
Nickel City
Excellent choice! Bordering Canada on the east coast of Lake Erie, training in Buffalo offers students an opportunity to visit Niagara Falls. Construction of the Erie Canal and railways, proximity to Lake Erie, efficient radial grid urban layout, and early embrace of hydroelectric power fueled Buffalo's early growth. Since then, the city has shown prominence in manufacturing with steel morphing into clean energy, and becoming home to Tesla's photovoltaic cell Gigafactory 2. Enhance your Lean Lego Game by enjoying popular after-class attractions like Frank Lloyd Wright's Darwin D. Martin House Complex, and the Buffalo & Erie County Naval and Military Park.
