The Lean Heroes at the Summer Fayre
The village summer fayre is on Saturday. The Lean Heroes want to run a lemonade stall, to raise money for the treehouse dojo.
Master Taff: "Before you squeeze a single lemon, let's see the whole picture."
Who's helping
How to play
- Plan the stall. Sort the cards into five columns: Suppliers, Inputs, Process, Outputs, Customers. That's called a SIPOC.
- Run the stall. Three busy rounds on fayre day. Make one choice before each.
- Fix it next time. See what went wrong, and how the five DMAIC steps would fix it.
Plan the stall
Lauren has spread the cards on the table. Put each one in the right column.
Tap a card, then tap a column. Or drag it there. Tap a card in a column to move it again.
Some cards are tricky. If a card matters but isn't S, I, P, O or C, put it in "Doesn't fit".
