CARD GAME

This tool helps staff become aware that each operation within a company has a cost. The case study will lead each participant to ask questions about his or her tasks at work in order to :

  • Identify operations providing no added value to the product
  • Adopt a positive attitude in seeking to reduce these operations, thereby reducing costs and creating the means for constant improvement, training etc.
"MISSION CASSIOPEIA " CD ROM

Interactive case study on the elimination of operations with no added value, based on a real case of saucepan manufacturing. During the game, the player may receive training, and an expert can help him or her with his or her choices.

The mission is to reorganize the company's workshops by eliminating the most operations presenting no added value whilst assessing the consequences.
