It is important adoption means that facilitate the students to build their theoretical and practical knowledge in matters related to manufacturing operations. In this sense, the objective of this article is to present the use of the active methodology of teaching-learning in the understanding of the Theories of Constraints (TOC) approaches in manufacturing operations. Through simulation with the use of OPT Game, connections between the TOC process with the global and operational indicators, the OPT rules, the production synchronization and the drum-buffer-rope are presented. It is characterized an applied, exploratory, descriptive and explanatory research, through the simulation technique. The OPT Game was applied to a group of masters degree students. The results showed that the students felt motivated with the activity, helping them to understand the theory and practice of TOC approaches; whose was considered an important resource to facilitate learning.
