Kanban game
For optimal use of the Kanban system, each stake-holder has to follow the rules. The Kanban game ensures that each participant understands the way it works, by using the Kanban cards at each position in the production line. All of the usual mistakes are simulated:
• Swapping of batches avoiding a change in reference number
• Supplying a quantity that is greater than expected
• Loss of a card
For the Managers in charge of estimating the capacity of the Kanban loops, the resistance of these loops is tested under stress. Learn how to calculate the capacity of a stable Kanban loop.
The game simulates a factory that makes 3 finished productsand 2 sub-sets from 5 purchased items.
The following are simulated :
• Client's truck
• The shipping with the sequencer or « Ejunka board »
• A production line with its batch boxes and its launcher, and Kanban return guttering
• A press
• A supply train with a Kanban card holder
• A delivery with flat storage process.
The game can last between 1 and 2 hours depending on the exercises done. It requires a minimum of 6 participants.
