New Course
Cell Design
Working in a flow delivers benefits in terms of speed, quality, safety, cost, and customer satisfaction. Creating flow requires connecting processes and linking them closely together. Often this takes the form of a cell. Learn the practical steps and principles that guide us through the study of our products, processes, equipment, materials, and people when designing a cell.

New Simulation
Letter Puzzle Game
Exercises, games, and simulations are fun, interactive ways to learn new concepts. The Letter Puzzle Game is a twenty-minute exercise that’s suitable for groups of most sizes. Facilitators can use the Letter Puzzle Game as a fun way to teach ways to improve job training, quality, 5S workplace organization, and even break the ice at a training event or meeting.

New Internal Logistics Course
Introduction to Internal Logistics
As organizations take steps toward achieving continuous flow it’s common for one or more supporting systems to struggle. A typical problem is that material handling and supply processes can’t keep up with the faster pace of one-piece flow. In other words, we need to build a system of internal logistics that enables continuous flow. Learn the steps for building an internal logistics system from creating a plan for every part (PFEP), preparing a parts supermarket, developing delivery routes, designing racks, containers and conveyance systems, and documenting standard work for logistics.

New Internal Logistics Course
What is a Water Spider?
The water spider plays a critical role in helping an organization achieve smooth flow. They move materials through an operation, step in to relieve team members, and prevent non-routine tasks from interrupting the workflow. Learn how the role of a water spider differs from that of an internal logistics delivery driver, the three types of water spider tasks, how to set their work interval, and how to create standard work for a water spider role.

New Internal Logistics Course
How to Build a Supermarket
The supermarket is a parts storage area that serves as a key building block of a flow-focused internal logistics system. Learn the main differences between supermarkets and traditional storage, its advantages, and the steps for developing, sustaining, and improving supermarket operations.

New Internal Logistics Course
How to Design Internal Logistics Delivery Routes
The design and operation of delivery routes are central to the success of an internal logistics system. Learn the four common types of delivery routes, the role of pull signals in logistics information flow, how to create delivery route standard work, how to follow the step-by-step approach to designing a continuous replenishment delivery route, and more.
