The benefits of lean simulation games have beenlearning within a controlled environment inside a discussed widely in literature. Verma [5] reviewed 17classroom. To learn the concepts to be taught, students gain popular lean simulation games, such as the TimeWisefirst-hand experience by actively participating in the staged Simulation of the Lean 101 training program, Aircraftactivities and witnessing the effects of certain concepts or Simulation developed by Lean Aerospace Initiative (LAI
