Product Description

For Florida Power and Light, Hewlett-Packard, and Texas Instruments, policy deployment has created a critical bridge between corporate goals and their company-wide deployment. Hoshin Kanri offers top and middle managers a guide to customizing a policy deployment program especially suited to their company.

This book is a compilation of examples of policy deployment and demonstrates how company vision is converted into individual responsibility. It contains practical guidelines, 150 charts and diagrams, and five case studies that illustrate the procedures of Hoshin Kanri. The six steps to advanced process planning are reviewed and include: a five-year vision; one-year plan; deployment to departments; execution; monthly audit; and annual audit. The practice of Hoshin Kanri will enable you to:

Align all departmental and individual project goals to corporate goals and eliminate duplication of effort.
Communicate to every employee his or her role in achieving the company vision.
Closely monitor performance using carefully devised measures of progress.

Learn how Hoshin Kanri can increase your company's responsiveness to social, economic, and technical changes through flexible strategic management.

Hoshin Kanri is a very useful strategic tool 29 Sep 2006

By Serdar - Published on Amazon.com

Format:Hardcover

Hoshin kanri offers an alternative way to overcome the common problems associated with strategic and business planning. It is a comprehensive planning and controlling system, that connects managers and employees by a systematic deployment process through a vertical and horizontal communication, where the goals set by the management are deployed down and the endeavors of both top and bottom lines are adjusted to focus on the same vision and goal. My favorite is the catchball process in HK, which is the key process for alignment and integration.

Hoshin Kanri is a very useful strategic tool, not only for TQM, but also for any strategic management initiative. Akao's book gives the reader in depth knowledge on how it works and how one can implement it. As far as I know it is the first book on HK in English.
