Lean Simulation Games
Lean Simulation Games are a common tool to teach important lean principles such as flow and pull control.
Currently, we are offering 13 diferent simulation topics for you to use in your in-house trainings. Furthermore, we are in the process of making some of the simulations available for public use. Our Lean 101 Never Ending Card is just the first example.
The following list shows all simulation topics that are currently available. Call us at +1 678 810 0885 if your favorite topic is not yet on the list!
