Lean Manufacturing Games

Improve your lean manufacturing techniques with this brilliant game from Lean games. The SMED game is based on a simulated machine and can be used across a wide range of industries for example, CNC machining, packaging,food, plastics, electronics, printing, etc. The machine simulates mechanical, pneumatic, colour and software alterations and also the manufacture of a "first off" with quality inspection. The aim of the game isto demonstrate the principles of SMED and allow the trainees to practice the SMED methodology on this simulation before starting actual implementation on their own equipment. Normally the game involves 2 volunteers who changeover the machine using the standard procedure supplied and a little guidance from the facilitator. It would be quite possible for up to 20 other people to SMED close up observe the changeover, although normally we would expect a group of between 6 and 12 participants. All the participants then work through each of the steps of SMED, applying them to the original procedure, this is normally done in smaller sub groups of 2 or 3 people. Each kit is supplied with all components in its own easy to store and transport bag
