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

Lexington
Horse Capital of the World
Excellent choice! At the heart of Kentucky's Bluegrass region, Lexington is famous for peanut butter, root beer, thoroughbreds, and horse racing. The world's most productive peanut butter factory can be found on Winchester Road. Known for its root beer, A&W Restaurants is headquartered here. And of course Lexington's high-calcium Bluegrass fosters strong bones and endurance in horses. Coupled with housing the Keeneland and Red Mile horse tracks, Lexington has become an epicenter of equestrian excellence.
