What is it?

Production Simulator is game software that simulates production flow in a company. It helps managers understand how work flows from one phase to another and how interdependency between phases and variability of performance of each individual or crew affects performance of the whole production chain. The game also teaches the basics of even flow principles in production management.

Who really needs this? Do I really need it? What are the bottom line benefits for me?

Production management principles can be applied in any company that has repetitive tasks. A software company that writes software, a building company that builds homes, a construction company that bids, builds and manages projects etc. can all use even flow production management techniques as long as they have multiple projects going on at any one time. It is critical that companies finish projects on time. Most delays happen in projects between phases when people are often waiting for lack of resources. This is truly unnecessary and these kinds of delays can be cut considerably if even flow production principles are applied. Every day a project is delayed is costing the company huge amounts of money. Bottom line addition to the company will be significant if even flow production principles are applied.
