The Lean Zone® is the place where process improvement methodologies meet practical application - and employee resistance - in the workplace. At Visionary Products, we've spent more than 15 years applying process improvement practices, including Lean, Teams and Six Sigma, to all types of organizations. Lean unquestionably delivers dramatic results. Yet we've found that the most significant roadblock to lean implementation is employee resistance.

Visionary Products, Inc. offers, educational simulations designed to educate, stimulate, and motivate employees to overcome that resistance, embrace organizational change and even desire "lean" business practices. Packaged in a unique kit format, Lean Zone® simulations allow managers to easily and cost-effectively train employees in a matter of hours. It's a practical and entertaining way to introduce "lean" principles to your organization. And, it's so engaging, they won't even realize they're learning.

Lean Zone® Production Methodologies, a cellular manufacturing simulation, has been sold to over 28 countries and is widely used by Fortune 500 companies. This simulation specifically teaches advanced manufacturing practices while helping to introduce new concepts, open constructive dialogue and demonstrate the positive aspects of well-planned directed change.
