Explanation

The purchasing department of company Power World needs to place a timely order for the materials needed to manufacture wind turbines. Due to disorganised processes and time pressures, they miss their deadline. The orders are placed too late, resulting in production delays. After analysing the 1st round of the game, participants optimise processes in the purchasing department by applying lean administration principles.
