Lean Games - SMED

Improve your lean manufacturing techniques with this brilliant game from
Lean games. The SMED game is based on a simulated machine and can be used
across a wide range of industries for example, CNC machining, packaging,
food, plastics, electronics, printing, etc. The machine simulates
mechanical, pneumatic, colour and software alterations and also the
manufacture of a "first off" with quality inspection. The aim of the game is
to demonstrate the principles of SMED and allow the trainees to practice the
SMED methodology on this simulation before starting actual implementation on
their own equipment.

Normally the game involves 2 volunteers who changeover the machine using the
standard procedure supplied and a little guidance from the facilitator. It
would be quite possible for up to 20 other people to SMED close up observe
the changeover, although normally we would expect a group of between 6 and
12 participants. All the participants then work through each of the steps of
SMED, applying them to the original procedure, this is normally done in
smaller sub groups of 2 or 3 people.

Each kit is supplied with all components in its own easy to store and
transport bag
