Games and Simulations

Games and simulations are useful tools when you are encountering the following:

  • Teaching principles that are wide and scope and broad in principle.
  • Concepts are counter common sense (counter intuitive) to participant’s experiences.
  • Emotions about these issues are involved.
  • Adapting attitudes and habits must be formed.
  • A shift in thinking is needed that explaining can not foster.
  • During implementation a simple, hands-on, concept review is needed.

Our games complement our other PowerPoint training presentations and DVD videos.

  • Over 1,400 companies are using Superfactory knowledge products.  View a partial listing here.
  • All major credit cards are accepted, as well as fax, phone, wire transfer, and purchase products_ccards.giforders. You will receive more information on each method during the ordering process.
  • International orders are welcome. 

 

JIT Factory Flow Kit
Buy now for $479.99

The simulation takes approximately 90 minutes from start to finish. The first round is performed in the traditional manufacturing process (batch production). In the second round batch sizes are cut in half while the participants stay in the traditional layout. In the third round, the simulation is run with a batch size of one unit. All the measurements drastically improve in the third round and this clearly cements the benefits of JIT and Lean. It is dynamic enough for high-level management training, yet has enough detail for production staff as well.

Included in each JIT Factory Flow Kit:

  • 80 - Flashlights and components
  • 160 - Batteries
  • 1 - Facilitator Guide with Presentation CD
  • 1 - Container for flashlight bodies
  • 1 - Container for flashlight parts

 

5S Action Kit
Buy now for $299.99

Visualize the power and benefits of 5S with our new 5S Action Kit. Our innovative, hands on exercise, facilitates team building as it walks participants through the 5S principles. The participants will learn by doing. Step by step, team members become familiar with 5S, yet more importantly, they take 5S concepts and apply them directly to the exercise. The interactive aspects of our 5S game links knowledge with action, providing a tactile as well as visual learning experience.

Included in the 5S Action Kit :

  • 1 - Facilitator Guide with CD Presentation
  • 2 - Tool kits
  • 2 - Sets of Lego pieces
  • 2 - Stop watches
  • 3 - Pads of Post-it notes
  • 1 - Package of markers for the 5S game
  • 1 - 5S Evaluation Review Form (5S Audit Form)
  • 50 - 5S Red Tags

 

Flow Simulation
Buy now for $79.99

Flow Simulation makes it easier for trainers to communicate the principles of Lean in a lean simulation exercise.

Our Flow Simulation reinforces employees’ understanding of Just in Time (JIT), Lean Manufacturing, or Kaizen. Use this training aid after training participants in the concept of Lean or to refresh employees of Lean principles.

Each Flow Simulation includes a presentation guiding you through the steps of the flow exercise and a program displaying the change in production through each round of the lean simulation. The Flow Simulation is designed using Flash Technology and the Flash Player is included to ensure compatibility.
