How a session runs. Pick a game. Everyone opens symplprocess.com/games/<game> on their own phone and plays for about three minutes — no account, no timer. Then open that game's teach page below: the run sheet says what to ask and where the room gets stuck, the story pictures and the side-by-side go on the projector, and the check questions close it out.

Teach pages, one per game

See the flow

The Release Game Letting in more work than the slowest machine can handle finishes nothing faster. It only makes every job wait longer. ~27 min in the room Four a Day Is Not Four Days How fast the shop works is not how long one order takes. Promise from the wrong number and you will be late. ~40 min in the room The Dice Relay When each station waits on the one before, bad hours pile up and good hours are wasted. The line runs below its average. ~29 min in the room The Busy Trap The fuller you keep a machine, the longer everything behind it waits. Past about 85% busy, it gets bad fast. ~25 min in the room The Batch Splitter You do not have to finish the whole pile before moving some of it on. Smaller batches finish the job sooner. ~29 min in the room Your Area Over Time Knowing the pile is the problem does not fix it. Digging out means starting less than you finish for a while. ~40 min in the room

Run the line

Balance the Line A line goes at the speed of its slowest person, not its average one. Help only the slowest step. ~30 min in the room The Hidden Machine A machine loses time three ways at once — stopping, running slow, and making bad ones. Together they hide most of its day. ~36 min in the room The Pit Stop Get ready while the machine is still running and it stands still less. But one crew can only be in one place. ~30 min in the room The Job Shop The busiest machine is whichever one today’s jobs pile onto, and every job waits behind it — even jobs that never touch it. ~19 min in the room

Pull, don’t push

Push vs Pull Making to a guess gets it wrong twice: too much of one thing, none of another. Make only what was taken. ~30 min in the room The Beer Game Before you order more, count what is already on its way. Forget the boxes on the road and you order twice. ~30 min in the room Network Priority If a finished thing needs a part from every cell, only complete kits count. Parts made ahead are just piles. ~30 min in the room

Quality & the workplace

The Quality Cascade Stop a fault where it starts. Look at the machine’s last five, not the heap of returns. ~30 min in the room The Red Bead Experiment Most bad days belong to the process, not the person running it. Telling off the unlucky changes nothing. ~16 min in the room The 5S Hunt The more there is on the bench, the longer everything takes to find. Take away what has no job. ~14 min in the room
