Educational Games and Simulations
Educational
games and
simulations use experience to increase learning. These games are
powerful instructional tools during which participants experience a series of
challenges that require significant thought and experimentation. They learn
first hand by seeing the effects of their decisions and the results of their
actions. This translates into “aha!”
learning which remains with them for
life.
THE MANUFACTURING SIMULATION GAME
Experience
three weeks
in the life of
the Lightning Bolt company struggling to move from a push system of
manufacturing to a pull system using all the concepts of total quality
management and just in time operations. You perform the functions of planning
and building products in
competition with other teams striving for the highest level of customer service
and the lowest level of inventory. Real
world problems continually arise and challenge each team in a game
environment that is painfully realistic.

THE MARKETING GAME
You
are on the board of directors of a professional association or “not for
profit” organization, trying to attract new members. With others on your board
you research
and develop a marketing
plan that you believe will meet the needs of the local community. As
plans are developed and programs executed each team is measured in terms of customer
satisfaction points. The team with the highest number of customer satisfaction points wins.
THE INTEGRATED RESOURCE MANAGEMENT GAME
You
are the head of a department in an organization
struggling to solve a problem that challenges the very survival
of the organization. The game concludes with a review of the general
principles of integrated resource management that
can be applied to any organization, demonstrating the need for an integrated
approach to decision
making and problem solving.
