| PLAYING THE GAME |
| The Manufacturing Game® is a "high touch," "high tech" learning laboratory. The "lab" is actually a 4' x 6' board game with 3 roles to play: Operations, Maintenance, and Business Services. The object of the game is to satisfy customer demand by producing and shipping the finished product and returning a profit to the company. Participants gain new perspectives by assuming a different role from the one they perform daily. Maintenance people become operations personnel; business services staff become mechanics; and operators become business services staff. Participants see how their decisions and actions impact each other and the overall performance of the plant. In the course of a day and a half, players see a simulated year of plant operations. The end result of this integrated perspective is UNDERSTANDING CHANGE: movement from reactive to proactive manufacturing. |
