Lean-By-Doing : A Complete CI Learning Experience

Lean-By-Doing : A Complete CI Learning Experience

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.

Praise for GBMP's "Lean-By-Doing" Experience:

“LEAN-BY-DOING is the fulfillment of a dream that lean trainers have had for years; a means to deliver a simulation that will enhance the trainee learning experience without requiring that the trainer store, tote and set up many pounds of awkward equipment. Like many other trainers, I tried to “lighten the load” by using paper airplanes and other, more portable simulations, but soon discovered that an abbreviated simulation yielded abbreviated learning.”

“LEAN-BY-DOING was developed by consultant/trainers and IS that comprehensive, portable simulation that will add impact and improve the comprehension and retention of your lean training. It’s a well-executed package; light and compact enough to live in a drawer in your office or the trunk of your car. Set-up is simplified, delivery instructions are thorough, and pack-up is so quick and easy that I have more value-added time to spend with the trainees after class. I highly recommend LEARN-BY-DOING for both consultants and internal trainers – it has been a great investment that will benefit my practice for years to come.”
