Master the Obeya Process
Unlock the power of visual management and cross-functional collaboration in just 60 minutes. In this high-impact webinar, you’ll discover how Obeya—the “big room” strategy that revolutionized Toyota’s operations—can elevate your team’s problem-solving, accelerate decision-making, and drive continuous improvement.
From defining a clear purpose to scaling across your entire organization, we’ll walk you through each critical phase of an Obeya implementation. You’ll see how to turn data and plans into vivid, interactive displays that keep everyone aligned, accountable, and focused on the right priorities.
Why Attend?
Bring clarity and momentum to every project by:
Making work visible. Transform complex processes into intuitive visual boards that highlight progress, obstacles, and opportunities at a glance.
Fostering collaboration. Create a dedicated space—physical or virtual—where production, quality, maintenance, supply chain, marketing, and leadership come together to solve challenges as one team.
Embedding continuous learning. Leverage the PDSA cycle (Plan-Do-Study-Act) to run rapid experiments, analyze outcomes, and turn insights into standardized best practices.
What You’ll Learn
Over the course of this session, you’ll master the nine essential steps to a successful Obeya rollout:
Define Clear Purpose – Align your Obeya pilot with strategic objectives like waste reduction or flow improvement.
Integrate with Existing Systems – Seamlessly connect Obeya to Hoshin Kanri, TPM, Value Stream Mapping, and A3 problem-solving frameworks.
Design the Collaborative Space – Optimize room layout or virtual platform for focused teamwork and rapid information flow.
Build Your Cross-Functional Team – Assemble the right mix of production, quality, maintenance, supply chain, and customer-facing experts.
Establish Standard Processes – Define meeting cadences, visual signals, and agendas that keep Obeya sessions productive and consistent.
Map Your Operational System – Use systems-thinking (DSRP) to document boundaries, components, relationships, and stakeholder perspectives.
Drive Continuous Improvement – Execute small-scale tests, study the data, and standardize successful experiments using Kanban and PDSA.
Evaluate and Scale - Measure pilot results, capture lessons learned, and codify best practices for organization-wide expansion.
Train and Coach – Build internal expertise through structured programs and community engagement with experienced Obeya practitioners.
Who Should Attend - This webinar is ideal for operations leaders, continuous improvement managers, Lean practitioners, and anyone tasked with driving alignment and speed in complex, mixed-model manufacturing environments.
