Abstract
This paper discusses a simulation aided planning game in the field of redesigning work structures. The game deals with a bicycle production and mainly covers the following three aspects: to enhance the understanding of problems and solving in the field of work structuring, to enable teamwork practise and to awake interest in using simulation tools for analysis of production systems. The planning game is supported by a guideline of work structuring for a suitable procedure and the simulation system FEMOS for dynamical analysis of planned systems.
The planning game is part of the European wide seminar program Simulation Aided Management Training SAM, which is granted by the COMETT program of the European Community. Aim of the seminar program is the training of managers and students in the use of simulation tools in production and logistics.
