Description: This Lean management and manufacturing simulation gives a powerful learning tool to understand Lean Principles, Six Sigma, and the Theory of Constraints. Starting out with chaotic conditions, the skilled participant will, through team effort, gain control over a variety of variables and identify the major constraintst that prevent the management and manufacturing processes from "flowing." 

The goal of the game is simply to produce as many quality sets of A’s and X’s that meet the proper specifications set by the executive team within the time limit. But just as in any real manufacturing setting, there are limits based on people, materials and the coordination of both. “Give ‘em the AX” is a powerful simulation that brings out many of the issues that already exist in the workplace.

Learning outcomes: Lean Principles, Theory of Contraints, Teamwork, Coordination of efforts between teams, organizational communication, following instructions, strategic planning and leadership.
