In Lean Production training and education, simulators are often used.These can take the form of for instance desktop games, computersimulations, or full-scale simulators. Many training participants perceivemodels for experiential learning and for continuous improvementprocesses as complex and abstract. Based on experiences from trainingsessions in a full-scale simulator Karlstad Lean Factory®, a unifiedmodelfor learning and improvementwork is presented. Thismodel stimulatestraining transfer and is perceived as intuitive. It also shows instructionalscaffolding as a learning method. Suggestions for future work includeinvestigating synergy with Smart Manufacturing and the use of LeanProduction simulators for innovative product realisation.
