Businesses need a systematic approach to finding improvement opportunities and prioritizing their implementation.

Using this game, attendees will build word phrases to customer specifications and track takt time, quality, cost, delivery and inventory levels to identify and prioritize improvement opportunities. All this will be driven by metrics. While these simulations use a game - the lessons you learn mean business.

  • Learn the value of working in groups.
  • Implement the basics of workplace organization.
  • See how standardization and sustainment impact quality, productivity, costs and employee satisfaction.
