Abstract: GrEta is an innovative simulat ion project, what was constructed in Szabó -Szoba R&D Laboratory at Széchenyi University Gyõr, for modelling the nature of flexible production processes. It is one of the best ways to demonstrate the most commonly occurring logistics phenomena in series of mass production on the learning-by-doing way. As the latest development in the GrEta environment we applied the visual kanban method to highlight the difference between push and pull production systems. The GrEta plotting board is also equipped with an automatic t ime measurement system, to register all the data the participants need to form KPIs, create an adaptable evaluating scheme and support the decision making process. The aim of this paper is to sum up the theory of kanban and to describe how we integrated it into the GrEta plotting board as a new phase of the development of our learning-by-doing training environment.
