TPS Car Factory Simulation
The new TPS Car Factory Simulation exercises included with the Deluxe and Deluxe PLUS Package kits are designed to closely mimic the Toyota Production System paper airplane simulation, but without wasting all that paper!

The six exercises take you from large batch to lean flow with 2-bin kanban, plus each exercise ends with an analysis of the 8 wastes and a Financial Chart to calculate earned value - the bottom line!

EVA = Sales-COGS-Capital Exp.

It's all about learning to see the waste!
 
 
Simulations
 

The LeanMan Car Factory Kits include several simulation events which are pre-designed to help you get started training lean principles right out of the box. Several of these simulation events are described in the paragraphs below, and as you will see, the LeanMan Car Factory is a very powerful tool which provides you the ability to create custom training formats tailored to suit your students’ specific needs.
