International Journal of Learning Technology (IJLT), Vol. 12, No. 4, 2017

Abstract: Lean is a set of techniques used to manage a work environment by eliminating waste, organising workplace, streamlining procedures and establishing visual standards. This paper presents a lean laboratory learning experience based on physical parts assembling simulation, which could be used for both students and professionals. Lean laboratory simulation simplifies understanding of practical lean advantages on manufacturing process. The purposes of this paper are to measure the difference between theoretical learning and learning by doing, and also to propose a new lean manufacturing teaching model. Principal results of the presented case study are centred on three pillars, developing training efficiency, evolving trainee's ability to propose real time process improvements and proposing a new training efficiency measurement tool. Further researches could experiment proposed training model with other complicated products in different environment.
