The document outlines a paper airplane building simulation conducted in groups of 4-5, focusing on efficient manufacturing processes and timely delivery of aircraft. Each of four work centers has specific tasks to complete, from folding to adding logos, culminating in flight tests recorded for performance assessment. The second round of the simulation introduces process changes allowing for immediate handoffs between work centers after task completion.

- 2. Paper Airplane Simulation âą In tables of 4-5, weâll be building paper airplanes. âą Value = Delivered Aircraft = 1 that Took Flight âą The sooner we deliver, the better we are. âą Weâll be doing a comparison of 2 approaches; each has 4 Work Centers. âą The 1st work center (or a 5th person) will also serve as a recorder of times I will call out.
- 3. Round 1 Manufacturing Instructions âą 1st work center folds corners to make noses for all 4 airplanes, pass to WC 2 âą 2nd work center folds each down these down to form fuselage skins for all 4 airplanes, pass to WC 3 âą 3rd work center folds each in half to make the fuselage and adds your companyâs corporate logo on each side of the aircraft for all 4 airplanes, pass to WC 4 âą 4th work center folds to make the wings for all 4 airplanes, then flies the 4 airplane off âą Recorder captures the times of the FIRST and LAST flights Work Center 1 Work Center 2 Work Center 3 Work Center 4 Add Logos
- 4. Round 1 Set-up âą Take one sheet of paper, set aside (this sheet may be used for a practice round). âą Identify your recorder: 1st work center or 5th person. âą Decide on your work centers and manufacturing flow for the 4 airplanes as they are built. âą Decide what your logo will look like. âą Take the next sheet, pass it through the work centers; work center 3 will add the corporate logo to the top left corner. After WC 4, pass it to your recorder. Each Work Center completes their assigned work on all 4 aircraft before passing it along. REMEMBER
- 5. Do you need to practice? (nice landingâŠ)
- 6. Take off!
- 7. Round 2 Set-up âą Airplane specifications remain the same. âą Keep your recorder, work centers, and manufacturing flow for the airplanes as they are built. âą Take the sheet, pass it through the work centers; work center 3 will add the corporate logo to the top left corner. After WC 4, pass it to your recorder. âą There Is Only 1 Change To The Process: As soon as you finish ONE airplane, you may now pass it to the next work center. WC 4 may fly a plane as soon as they finish it.
