Obeya

Learning Obeya

Obeya (from Japanese Ōbeya 大部屋 "large room") originated in the 90's at Toyota while building the Prius. It is considered a component of lean manufacturing and in particular the Toyota Production System.[1] Analogies have been drawn between an obeya and the bridge of a ship, a war room and even a brain.[2]
