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 Worcester students working in manufacturing or service provision. In our course, Worcester 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.

Worcester
Heart of the Commonwealth
Excellent choice! Once opened, the Blackstone Canal and Boston Railroad transformed Worcester into a transportation hub and manufacturing flourished; especially, power looms, and corsets. Economic diversification spread into biotech and healthcare. Education became prominent. Worcester is known for many famous firsts like the typewriter, envelope folding machine, pressurized space suit, candlepin bowling, Valentine's Day cards, and liquid-fueled rocket launch.
