Abstract: |
This paper presents research results
from a study on user requirements for in-context lean engineering
collaboration. The study forms an integral part of multidisciplinary research
on collaborative tools and approaches addressing sources of waste in lean
engineering in the European large-scale integrating project LinkedDesign. The results are guiding the research and
technology development work on a Virtual Obeya; a digital,
improved version of the Obeya collaborative arena
concept pioneered by Toyota and later adopted in a range of companies and industries
using lean engineering principles. Topics of particular interest include geographically
distributed project teams collaborating closely on concept and product
development, and also sharing of models, tools and techniques in collaborative
team environments - including simulators and their use within such teams. The
paper summarizes project objectives for the Virtual Obeya,
results from an analysis of frequently observed sources of waste in
collaboration and finally selected approaches for improving collaborative
performance in engineering teams. |
