WHY WE NEED THIS SIMULATION
Lean Manufacturing shows the roadmap for industrial transformation to follow
The 'lean manufacturing' game is the most complete one from a methodological view.
For teams starting out in the 'lean' culture, it allows us to define a roadmap. This roadmap goes through five phases of improvement, introducing increasingly complex methodologies in each phase.

WHAT ALLOWS US TO TRANSMIT
A roadmap for continuous improvement
The simulation allows to visualize the implementation of the main 'lean' tools and their impact on the outcome of the process. Using a three-station process as a working base, the simulation recreates the implementation sequence of the main 'lean' techniques. Throughout each phase of the simulation the team will learn how to implement the VSM, 5S, SMED, flow creation, kanban and pull flow methodologies. The simulation goes through the following improvement phases:
A process can only be improved if it is robust and predictable. That is why the basic tools to implement are those that ensure process standardisation (5S, standard work, etc.).
A second step to work on when the process is already stable and robust is to develop actions to have more agile processes. In addition, this agility will allow working with more product types, more references or customers without the change from one to another entailing a loss of efficiency.
When the process is stable and agile in changes, it is possible to implement those tools that allow connecting customer and supplier operations in the same flow. In this step we intend that all the processes of the same chain act at the same pace and respecting the customer's needs.
Finally, when the customer and supplier processes are in perfect synchronisation, it is possible to propose improvement activities that allow all operations to be concentrated and unified in a single process, simplifying the management of the entire flow.
When the process is standard and repetitive, it is possible to develop a process to automate operations. For this, Value Stream Mapping is the tool to design a new future situation to be achieved.
The game helps everyone involved to be part of the solution
METHODOLOGY STEP BY STEP
The development of a phased training is revealing and instructive because it helps to generate knowledge in each of the phases, as participants identify the effects of every change introduced with respect to the previous phase. The Apex Mindset games are structured as follows:
1 Introduction
Definition at the beginning of each phase of the challenge and the scope of the problem faced by the team
2 Training
Explanation of the theoretical contents to be applied to solve the problem posed by the game
3 Application
Development of the game phase, applying the concepts explained in the training
4 Learning
Review of the results and assessment of the contribution of each of the concepts introduced. Moving on to the next phase
1. Introduction

The game helps everyone involved to be part of the solution
The trainer should be an expert in facilitating games and simulations with experience in leading improvement teams.
Game to be played in a large room so that players and observers can share and participate in the experience.
The game is designed to take between 1 and 4 hours, depending on the content of the training.
All in one box: what you need for the facilitation and development of the game is all included inside the product box.
