Hoshin Kanri, also known as policy deployment, is a management approach to align an organization’s goals and strategy with its daily operations. It involves setting clear, measurable objectives and creating a plan to achieve them through the coordinated efforts of all levels of the organization.
It typically involves several key steps: defining the organization’s long-term vision and strategy, setting specific goals and objectives, developing action plans to achieve those goals, implementing them, and regularly reviewing and adjusting the projects to ensure they are effective.
Hoshin Kanri is to ensure that all levels of the organization are working towards the same goals and that progress towards those goals is being monitored and managed effectively.
