Patterned after training models used by Toyota, GBMP’s learning kit leads students through a simulated Lean transformation progressing from chaos to stability to problem-solving and standardization, and finally to ever-shortening cycles of just-in-time. Over four informative and entertaining rounds of the simulation, students learn the know-why for Lean tools like 5S, continuous flow, standardized work and set-up reduction as well as the know-how.

This is the same simulation that GBMP consultants have used for over 15 years, to create compelling results and sustained continuous improvement culture at hundreds of clients.

Included in this super compact kit and travel case are:

• One complete four-round simulation including five material slide racks, 32 labeled material containers, signage, kanban cards, Heijunka box and easy diagrams and practice sheets.
• Accompanying PowerPoint presentation covering key points for each step of the Lean transformation. Use the basic concepts in the presentation, and then insert your own slides to customize for your site!
• Train-the-trainer DVD narrated by Shingo Prize winner, Bruce Hamilton, providing full instructions for your internal trainers, live examples of each two-minute simulation round with debriefs as well as key technical and philosophical observations.
• A bonus DVD, Toast Kaizen , the best-selling Lean video on the market, will be included to cue up the first simulation round with an ice-breaking explanation of direct observation, continuous improvement and the 7 wastes.
