Discussion between rounds:
Difficulties with the system
 Management Team:
 What did you feel during the game? Were you busy?
 Did you manage to implement your plan? Were you in control?
 Drywall team:
 Were you busy?
 HVAC team
 Were you busy?
 Bottleneck, Cycle time, WIP, Push
 What is the meaning of cycle time for apartment
construction in real projects?
 How would you improve the process?
