Taller fallero

A 90-minute, 4-round basic Express simulation for Spanish vocational training (Formacion Profesional), module 1219 Planificacion de la produccion of the Tecnico Superior Artista Fallero y Construccion de Escenografias (Real Decreto 1690/2011).

The learner is Aitana Peris, a newly qualified head of production of a fictional fallas workshop in a town of the Ribera (Valencian Community) that builds three fallas and an infantil for the plantà of 15 March 2028, over a season of 6,600 workshop hours with a budget of 45 euros per workshop hour.

Four situations set the workshop's course: April 2027, and how the fabrication is planned (piece by piece, backwards from the plantà, not on last year's dates or with no plan) and how the workshop buys (in phases from the plan, not the whole season at once in April); September 2027, and how the team is made (sized on the load chart, with contracts) and how the budget is drawn (by line with a contingency); December 2027, and how the painting is done (in a booth with extraction, as the safety data sheets say) and how the commissions' changes are answered (priced and re-planned before they are accepted, not yes to everything for free); and February 2028, and how the plantà is organised and the season closed (a staggered plantà with an assembly order; the collections, the costs and the moulds in order).

Two critical errors cap the round: unpaid students working in the nave with no contract or training agreement, and solvent spraying in the closed nave with no extraction, masks or safety data sheets. Some mistakes look fine on the day and come back blocks later. KPIs: plan kept (work packages finished in their planned week), cost per workshop hour, overtime and rework, and hours of delay against the fixed dates.

Lesson: with a fixed date, the margin is lost in overtime. Spanish primary, English parity. Fictional town, workshop, commissions, suppliers and people; real curriculum and rules cited.
