Hoshin Kanri
Hoshin Planning (also commonly known as Hoshin Kanri, and Policy Deployment) Hoshin Planning provides an opportunity to continually improve performance by disseminating and deploying the vision, direction, targets, and plans of corporate management to top management. To all employees so that people at all job levels can continually act on the plans, and evaluate, study, and provide feedback results as a part of a continual improvement process.
Top management sets the overall vision and the annual high-level policies and targets for the company. Hoshin Planning is a management tool used to identify and close gaps. The difference between where you are and where you want to be can be and is thought of here, as a gap.
PDCA Cycle
Hoshin Kanri can be thought of as the application of Deming's Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle to the management process. The PDCA cycle represents a generic approach to continual improvement of activities and processes
PLAN' STEP- a plan of action is developed to address a problem. Corresponding control points and control parameters are created. The plan is reviewed and agreed. 'DO' STEP, the plan is implemented. 'CHECK' STEP, information is collected on the control parameters. The actual results are compared to the expected results. 'ACT' STEP, the results are analyzed. Causes of any differences between expected and actual results are identified, discussed and agreed. Corrective action is identified.
The Plan-Do-Check-Act Cycle is a logical sequence for behavior. PDCA implies that once one cycle of the sequence is completed with the 'ACT' step (in which corrective action is identified), the 'PLAN' step (in which a plan to address how corrective action will be generated) of the next cycle should be started.
