The Contribution of Obeya for Business Intelligence

Abstract

The main objective of the study is to minimize interdepartmental communication, potentiation of fast and efficient decision making, and computerization of data. Using software such as MS Excel® and MS Power BI®, a Power BI® tool was conceived to be capable of incorporating, for the entire company, the dashboards that collect the main KPIs of each department. After the tool was implemented, the company's paradigm shift was noticeable. Quickly, the weekly meeting of the planning team began to take place using the MS Power BI® dashboard. In this way, processes were automated and the important data for the normal functioning of the company became accessible to all departments, thus minimizing interdepartmental communication. The chapter shows an Obeya Digital that was implemented in a company in which all the performance indicators of each department are incorporated. In this way, information becomes accessible to all employees and manual data update processes are minimized.
