Kanban Healthcare Clinic
A revolutionary technique in healthcare using kanban principles adds exceptional speed to service. This model shows the techniques used to achieve a cycle time of less that 1 hour even with three or more services required. Many of the principles used are explained in detail by activating the various layers. Each layer explains modeling concept.
Ear Nose and Throat Clinic
This model was developed to determine the optimal number of exam rooms needed given the expected patient stream.
Dry Cleaning Plant
A model of a current ‘central dry cleaning plant’ located in Central Texas. They originally had five retail drop stores including one store attached to the plant plus two routes as shown in the light blue colored Collection Phase.
The ‘central plant’ was processing approximately 6700 garments in a five-day week. They wanted to know where the bottlenecks would occur if they added two more retail outlets and one more route with the expectation of the volume rising to over 10,000 garments per week.
The owner wanted to increase his garment processing count without incorporating any overtime. For this reason, the concept of ‘LEAN Thinking’ was applied to this model.

Phone Repair Process
This model provides an illustration of the different dynamics of Just In Time vs. Batch Processing in the context of a service system.
The model captures the processes for telephone repair in a large metropolitan area. Calls requesting service arrive at the Automated Call Center according to time of day, day of week, and service type: Out of Service and Affecting Service. The repairs are screened in three phases to determine whether a repair service technician must respond. If so, a Repair Ticket is generated and sent to the Repair Center.

LandTamer Vehicle Assembly
This model was developed to simulate the entire production process of the Land Tamer II 6 wheel and 8 wheel Amphibious Remote Access Vehicle.
Aircraft Refueling Under Contingency Scenarios
The purpose of this model is to see the effect of different policies and procedures on the turnaround time of bombers and support aircraft during a contingent operation.
