Agenda
What is simulation game?
And why do we need them?
What games can I find?
The design aspects of simulation games
Some useful tips

What is
“Lean Simulation Game”?
And Why?

Demo: A Game for Continuous Improvement
Let’s look at our “Handout Passing” process.
Define the following items of the “process”:
System:
Objective:
(“value” added by the system)
Problem: (opportunity for improvement)
Performance Metrics:
Identify improvement opportunities
Solutions:
Let’s try again
New Performance:
Let’s use the “Best Practice” from now on
Takes more time than it should
Passing handouts to every student quickly
A Class = Teacher + Students + Classroom

Why use simulation games?
3/11/2016 - CIP Meeting Center for Advanced Manufacturing and Lean Systems at UTSA 5
Define the problem according to
customer requirements.
Measure defect rates and collect all
relevant data.
Analyze process data and determine
the capability of the process.
Improve the process and remove
causes of defects.
Control and mistake-proof the process to sustain the improvement.

Benefits of Using Simulation Games
An “Active Learning” Pedagogy
Project-based learning
Experienced-based learning
Promotes “Critical Thinking”
Relates theories to reality Reflect!
Interactive, Competitive and Fun!
Students said they vividly remember the game they
played at the beginning of the semester and repeatedly
referring back to what they learned in the game!

An Emphasis on “Simulation”
Game playing is fun, but the purpose is to
teach Lean concepts.
“Simulation” is important!
Demonstrate selected Lean concepts in a
simplified setting.
Make sure the participants can relate the
activities to their work/life experience.
Now, let’s take a look at a popular “5S” game.

Activity: The 5S Numbers Game
The numbers represents application forms
submitted to you for review and approval.
Your job is to strike out the numbers from 1 to 49
in correct sequence (Sheet A).
For example: 1 2 3
We will have a 30 second
shift to get as much done
as possible
