Improve your lean manufacturing techniques with Plug, a factory simulation game from Lean Games. This lean simulation is based on assembling 3-pin plugs and is a ideal simulation to demonstrate the following concepts:
- Layout
- Push/pull
- One-piece flow
- Kanban
- Work balance
- Benefits of training

People are so much more willing to challenge working practices in a simulated factory and are quick to identify waste in the system. This provides ideal foundations for starting to challenge and find opportunities in their own areas of work.
