Looking for Quality Games - Manufacturing environment

[Val]

Can you recommend a resource (website, company, telephone, etc.) that sells Quality Games? Playing games in a learning environment is one of the best ways for our employees to understand. I am looking for a wide array of quality related games. Does anyone have a resource/vendor or specific games you would recommend for a manufacturing environment? I checked ASQ and could not find anything.

Thanks!

Jeopardy is one game that I used during my ISO training:

Get some index cards and write the categories that tie into your scope of training. If your covering ISO it could be something a long the lines of:

-Quality Objectives & Policy
-Non Conforming Material
-Corrective Actions
-The Quality System
-Document Control
-And one fun one “The lighter side of ISO”

Put the $ amount on back of the large index card – and tape or Velcro to a board. Separate the class into two teams. Give each team a bell, and flip a coin on who is going to pick the first category…”Non Conforming mat. for $300.00”. Keep score and buy some gag gifts to give to the winning team.

Everybody has to answer in the form of a question.
Exp.
Question:
Mark, Identify, Segregate

Answer:
What do you do with Nonconforming material?

Hope this helps, I’ll try to find the guidelines I wrote up for this game …oh I almost forgot I also have a game called “Team Feud” just like family feud, I’ll try to find that one too.

Many registrars' audits set good examples

The Red Bead Experiment certainly is a good one. I like the Beer Game also, and I was able to home-make the equipment based upon descriptions available on the internet.

The Deming Electronic Network has a series of exercises posted at https://deming.ces.clemson.edu/pub/den/deming_trainers.htm I particularly like the Tinkertoy exercise (#11).
