What is Obeya
Obeya is a visual management tool
Obeya literally means 'great room' in Japanese. Japan's Toyota was the first organization to use a large room, introducing the Obeya concept and putting it directly into practice. In the 1990s, Toyota developed the first and most successful hybrid car ever, the Prius, with the help of Obeya. The company brought the car to market in about half the time compared to much of the competition.
All those involved – from management to the shop floor – worked together in a room and visualized the product and organizational system. In doing so, Toyota created one shared vision, one version of the truth. By bringing together all the information surrounding the build of the car in one place, the team was able to focus on the value for the customer.
How Obeya works
An Obeya is a space in which a visual link is made between strategy and operation. Working with Obeya leads to an overview and an effective way of working together. This is due to the use of visualization and the use of effective meeting methods.
By visualizing all relevant information, you create insight and overview. In the room it becomes clear what the goals are, what work there is and who is responsible for what. In addition, the progress of projects is clearly visible and performance is continuously improved. The team is helped to set priorities and make well-founded choices. Meetings in an Obeya are short and result-oriented.
