Playful strategy for the analysis of a production system from a lean manufacturing approach

This article presents the development of a playful learning strategy where it is expected that students and future professionals in process management within a company understand what a production chain is and the importance of having tools for diagnosing and improving the value chain in a company. Additionally, it aims to complement the learning of lean manufacturing tools such as 5S and value stream mapping (VSM) for process productivity improvement. The playful approach was applied to different groups in the Industrial Engineering program at Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios, Buga Regional Center, and was led by members of the GLIOSP research group within the same program. Among the main results obtained, the strengthening of knowledge and the use of lean manufacturing tools as support for improving production processes stands out.
