Package Contents:
Upgrade includes a Companion Car Factory Kit, the VSM Presentation materials on CD and the color printed and bound Facilitator guide and placemat set, and the VSM kanban control hardware items.

Note: Duplicate materials between the Deluxe package and the VSM package are not included. This upgrade in conjunction with a Deluxe Kit will equal a full Deluxe PLUS VSM Training Package.

Upgrade your Deluxe Car Factory Kit, or your Deluxe PLUS Heijunka Package, to include the VSM Value Stream Simulation.

The simulation training will help participants understand how lean philosophy and techniques can be applied to maximize customer value, minimize waste, and reduce costs through workplace organization and visual controls, and one-piece flow, quality at the source, and pull scheduling.

This simulation gives participants a basic understanding of how Lean principles, when effectively applied, can impact their company by effectively implementing lean at the correct process point along the value flow from door-to-door and avoid creating islands of perfection in a sea of chaos.

The simulation will take participants through nine process points along the value stream as they set up a Lean factory. Time is also spent learning how a company can transform a traditional manufacturing firm into a Lean producer by focusing on material flow and visual communications.

For a full description of the VSM capabilities and material items, please see the Deluxe PLUS VSM Lean Factory Simulation Package product description from the products tab.

Facilitators take note: Purchasing the VSM Upgrade as an addition to the Deluxe Car Kit, rather than purchasing the complete Deluxe PLUS VSM Package, results in obtaining the materials for each simulation packaged into two separate single-deep containers. This may be an advantage for those who would like to sometimes present the standard car factory simulations without toting the additional VSM materials with them each time. The LeanMan also highly recommends the LeanMan To Go Travel Case as a convenient way to store and transport the VSM simulation materials.

The LeanMan suggests using VSM Upgrade to the Deluxe Package in the following simulations:
 
  Group Size Time Steps
Learning to See the Waste Learn More About Learning to See the Waste Simulation
5-8 45 min. 2
This 2-Step simulation is the simplest event to run but packs a big WOW factor. It requires just one Car Factory Kit per team plus the laminated participant placemats. It's so easy to perform a single person can facilitate five or more teams, making it great for large audiences and conventions.
  Group Size Time Steps
LM Car Factory Simulation Learn More About LM Car Factory Simulation
5-8 120 min. 4
This 4-step simulation uses one car kit per team, and a single facilitator can easily run 2 or 3 teams for a little competition. This simulation event is targeted toward people who work in a team or who want to spend a little more time discovering the differences in the four main flow methods.
  Group Size Time Steps
TPS Simulation Learn More About TPS Simulation
8-12 2 1/2 hrs. 5
The Toyota Production System (TPS) simulation is a 5-step event which uses the training methods generally recognized as the Toyota method for introducing lean flow. This method focus more on flow and eliminating process waste and less on reducing the number of human elements in the process.

10-15 Continuous Loop 9
(Value Stream Map) This 9-step event focuses on each of the nine point processes in the value chain from customer order to customer delivery, one process at a time. Each exercise introduces lean techniques such as kanban material and visual signal devices, use of target tracking reports, kaizen forms, and continuous improvement metrics. This simulation exercise also provides an excellent basis of understanding for Value Stream Management training for the LEAN office.
The LeanMan also recommends these products for use with VSM Upgrade to the Deluxe Package:
