Abstract
Web-based game learning has become an instructional option in classroom teaching in recent years due to its support of deeper understanding of material, learning motivation, and students ought to be engaged with what they are doing. Recent lean game development studies have mostly focused on the board/table-top games. There are limited interactive web-based simulation games for classroom teaching in operations management, especially within the lean management area.
This research aims to construct a web interactive learning environment, which encourage students to draw connections between their practical and theoretical learning. It will involve the design and piloting of a web-based interactive problem-based learning game for classroom teaching. The proposed lean management game will be used to illustrate the differences between Western and Japanese (Lean concept) approaches toward production and operations management. The group-based activity will contribute to better understanding of the lean concept, and will also aim at developing transferable skills, such as teamwork, leadership, and decision making skills.
