There are many exercise machines in today’s world there but one of the most popular seems to be the stair climber machine. If a stair climber machine is going to be designed the information needed to be collected would vary widely. One would need to compute its angle of incline. Other things needed are the maximum and minimum velocities‚ the distance‚ vertical height of the machine‚ and a stopwatch to count the amount of time a person uses it. To calculate the weight of a person in Newtons a scale

The Airplane game‚ an exercise in lean thinking. After reviewing the article The Lean Service Machine (Swank‚ 2003) and watching a video series on making toast using the concepts of Kaizen‚ the class settled into the simulation. This simulation utilized the uniquely simple task of making a paper airplane and transformed it into an overly complicated multi-step batch process simulating the complex production processes that control the manufacturing of military aircraft.
