Kanban Training Simulation Ideas?

The “Dot spot” Company game. 2 hours, for 7 participants plus observer and customer. Nice simulation game and easy to administer.

Ken,
If you post your e-mail address I will send you the package with instructions tomorrow. It is pretty self-explanatory. Regards!

Adam, if we are talking about the same game, then kanban is one element of the simulation (third round) in addition to others such as pull vs. push, batch vs. one-piece flow, WIP, cell design, work balancing, quality, and kanban. It is very difficult to isolate the kanban system from the “lean package”. I don’t even see any sense in simulating a kanban system in isolation. This game is to introduce the relationship of the key concepts and how they relate that can then be elaborated on in more detail by showing the different types of kanbans. I will send you the instructions by EOD tomorrow, but it may well be the same game that you are already using. So, don’t be disappointed :-).

Bernard,
Almost right. I always introduce myself in training as coming from North Dakota, but the reality is I’m a “verrotte muff”, i.e. the big country next to the Netherlands. Spent many years in Amsterdam though, great little country!
Anyway, post your e-mail address and I will send it later today. Et toi, t’es Francais?  A plus tard!
 

Adam,
I’d be very interested to see your changes. I also made some changes, but haven’t documented them. Like you, I “screw up” the process in the first run to show the impact of out-of-control processes on any process and then move into the mapping etc. I also only allow them to prioritize the changes that they make and have them pick 3 at a time in order to simulate that in some instances improvements may be a continuous cycle. If you don’t mind, send it to [email protected].
Thanks in advance!

I too would very much appreciate receiving the materials if it’s not too much trouble.
Thank you in advance!

Hans, the simulation sounds very simple and effective.  Could you forward a copy of the instructions to me also??
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Hans,
We are in early stage to omplement Kanban. Training with lectures is not effective. Your simmulation sounds excellent. 
If it is OK, can you please e-mail instructions etc.
Thanks.
 

Please forward the simulation or email link for the Dot Spot simulation.  Thank you.

Hi Hans ,
Thank you for your reaction.Please post the stuff at [email protected] the way je suis néerlandais.
Thanx in advance,
Bernard
 

We have not received anything from HANS.
If anyone has it can you please forward it.
Thanks.

Our good friend Hans is on vacation without access to email. He’ll be away for about one week.

Hi could you kindly send the dot game to my email id. [email protected]
Thanks

Mike, Raj, I never received your e-mail to send the simulation game. Just wanted to close the loop.

Hans,
I’m reading your discussion. I’m very intresting in Kanban. Could you be so kind and send me this game too. :) my email: [email protected] a lot. :)

Would you mind sending me a copy of the Kanban training simulation as well? Thanks. Oscar
Thers is my e-mail: [email protected]

I just found this thread while searching for a visual aid. Could you send it one more tiime :) [email protected]

Glen, Good morning!Thanks for your posting about the Buckingham Game. FYI, a variant has been developed, called the “Warwick Game”, that tries to address some of the shortcomings of the Buckingham version:

Hans, I just found this link.  Can you please send me info on the Dot-Spot simulation?  Thanks.   John

Hi,
May I recieve a copy of this too.  My email is [email protected]
Thank you

I am sorry for the trouble, but can I have a compy of the Kanban game as well. I am designing the internal distribiution network.
