LeanMan-Deluxe-Plus-Kanban Simulation

The LM Kanban Simulation upgrade supplies the additional materials that turns the Grand Package into a fully integrated customer-driven value stream from customer to factory to supplier.

This simulation training will help participants understand how lean philosophy and techniques can be applied in a customer-pull product flow utilizing Kanban cards, signaling devices and Heijunka planning to control flow and inventory levels.

The LM Kanban Simulation is presented in four events - all four are a full value stream and utilize kaizen and inventory metrics to analyze flow; the last two events utilize the Heijunka planning method and Heijunka box to sequence flow. All events calculate the Earned Value; Margin as a percent of sales; and Inventory levels. All four events also introduce Little's Law metrics equation TH = WIP x CT. See Fun with Little's Law. For a more complete description of this simulation check out the Deluxe Plus Kanban Simulation Package full Value Stream lean training event.

Heijunka Box and Simulation

The Heijunka Upgrade simulation training will help participants understand how lean philosophy and techniques can be applied in a mixed-mode product cell to maximize customer value, minimize waste, reduce costs through workplace organization and visual controls, implement one-piece flow, instill quality at the source, and synchronize to customers needs using pull scheduling.
