Abstract
The Technology Centre PULS (Production and Logistics Systems) operates a learning factory for application-related research and education in the areas of Lean Production, Accounting for Lean as well as Industry 4.0. The main didactic approach for teaching and training is simulation games. Lean Production is accepted as the benchmark for a high efficient production. Nevertheless, the results of Lean transformations often lack behind the expectations. Experts consider that Lean initiatives need to enlarge their focus. Therefore, the simulation game described in this paper points out the need for shopfloor management in combination with the new field of Accounting for Lean.
