Therefore, the fluidized bed virtual lab can be incorporated into a course as anadditional educational resource.BackgroundEducation Traditional education consists of lecturing and lab sessions, where students can havehands-on experience with equipment that enhances the theories taught in lectures, but there aresome drawbacks. The main disadvantages of physical unit operation labs are space, accessibility,and cost.

Forexample, it may be difficult to find undergraduate students with sufficient background toparticipate in a project that is too theoretical. On the other hand, if the research is tooexperimental, the need to obtain funds for adequate equipment and laboratory space may makecertain experiments impossible.

Theexperimental manufacturing consists of three steps: 1) the open molding process, 2) theflash removal process, and 3) the packaging process. During the open molding process, aliquid pre-polyurethane is mixed with a curing agent and placed into silicone rubbermolds. Through a series of the manufacturing experiments, students developed the VSMof their processes and identify the wastes, which include the waiting time of polymercuring, movement for acquiring a mold release spray, etc. After the Kaizen session,students improved their process by changing the plant layout and improving their set-upand process parameters.
