Jogar Tuwas gegen MUDA

Acerca deste jogo

In this business simulation, you take over the management of a small business and try to increase productivity by avoiding MUDA.

Muda (無駄) is the Japanese word for meaningless activity. It is defined as "...any human activity that consumes resources but produces no value." - Wallace J. Hopp
In this game, MUDA is represented by the little colorful monsters that sit in the factory and do unproductive nonsense.
Productivity is represented by clever squirrels "Tuwas" (German for "DoSomething"). They are always productive and always work hard.

The more efficiently the operation is managed, the more Tuwas work in the hall. With bad management, MUDAs are everywhere and waste valuable working time.

Other companies send you inquiries for which you calculate offers with a suitable price. Always remember to stay profitable. Some of the inquiries are initially not lucrative and would be a financial loss for you.
So go to your office to negotiate directly with the customer and secure a profit for yourself.

If the companies accept your offers, the planning of the production begins.
Strategically distribute the orders to your machines. With clever planning, you can process many orders at the same time and still on schedule. If your financial resources allow, you can rent more machines, which will make it easier for you to distribute the work in the short term.

However, more machines cost more money and require more employees, which leads to higher expenses. If, on the other hand, you plan cleverly, a few machines are sufficient to meet the delivery dates.

If you do not meet a delivery date, the customer is not willing to pay the full price, which has a negative effect on your sales and thus also on your profit.

All machines must be serviced regularly, which inevitably causes downtime. If the maintenance of a machine is not carried out regularly, this can lead to defects. Repairing a defect always takes longer than maintenance. It is therefore worth scheduling maintenance.

All of these factors above must be carefully considered when planning business operations so that your company does not go bankrupt.

Can you still remain profitable despite the many orders and the higher turnover?
