About Lean Lego Game Training
Who is Lean Lego Game Training 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 Portland students working in manufacturing or service provision. In our course, Portland students learn:
Lean Lego Game Training 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.

Portland
City of Roses
Excellent choice! In the shadow of snow-capped Mount Hood, Portland is Oregon's largest city and known for eco-friendliness, bridges, biking, microbreweries, and coffeehouses. Portland began as a transportation point for goods especially timber. WWII spurred ship building. And technology migrated in helping Portland become the youthful and educated city it is today.
