Background
• Project work on the topic “Improvement of a manual
assembly line of roller skis at ABC company”.
• Development of a learning factory based on the line and
suggested improvements.

Used approaches/terms
• Experiential learning is an active learning method,
which is one of the most beneficial for manufacturing and
engineering students, as here they get to work in the real
situations.
• Game based learning –“activities that have a game at
their core, either as the main activity or as a stimulus for
other related activities, and have learning as a desired or
incidental outcome” (Kirriemuir&McFarlane, 2004).
• Serious games are games that have a purpose to
provide learners with “authentic learning experience
where the entertainment and learning are seamlessly
integrated” (Charsky, 2010).

Learning factory activity

•
Aim: Improve layout of the assembly line and cycle time.
Introduction of theory and the problem;
Practical round – assembly of one ski;
A discussion session – reflect on the theory and assembly
process and decide on improvements needed;
• Practical round – apply improvements and look at how the
process has changed, assemble as much skis as possible
during the given time (time decided by instructor);
• A discussion session – sum up the implemented
improvements and link them to the theory presented in the
very beginning, think about future improvement;
• In total: 2 assembly rounds and 3 theoretical rounds, which
correspond to different phases of the experiential learning
cycle.
