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 Wichita students working in manufacturing or service provision. In our course, Wichita 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.
Prerequisites. None
More Cities
If Wichita won't work for you, don't worry. MBB Consulting™ also offers Lean Lego Game in the following recommended cities plus many more:
Wichita
Cowtown - Air Capital of the World
Excellent choice! Beechcraft, Cessna, and Stearman founded Wichita's aircraft manufacturing prominence reinforced by Airbus and others plus presence of McConnell Air Force Base. Wichita began as a Chisholm Trail trading post and Texan cattle drive railhead to eastern markets. Population expanded as a result. Wichita State and Friends Universities were built. Refineries followed after oil and natural gas discovery. Oil wealth spawned aircraft manufacturing whose growth accelerated with WWII. Wichita remains an economic and cultural center of the state offering many events and points of interest for students after Lean Lego Game. Most popular are the Sedgwick County Zoo, Museum of World Treasures, Wichita Gardens, Orpheum Theater, and the Original Pizza Hut.
