Hoshin Kanri for the Lean Enterprise: Developing
Competitive Capabilities and Managing Profit
|
|
Author: Thomas L. Jackson
At the heart of Lean and Six Sigma is the same, unique business operating
system: hoshin kanri. It is a method of strategic planning and a tool for
managing complex projects, a quality operating system geared to ensuring
that organizations faithfully translate the voice of the customer into new
products, and a business operating system that ensures reliable profit
growth.
The true power of hoshin kanri, however, is two-fold -- it is a superior
organizational learning method as well as a competitive resource development
system.
Hoshin Kanri for the Lean Enterprise, by Tom Jackson, explains how you can
implement, identify and manage the critical relationships among your
markets, design characteristics, production systems, and personnel to
satisfy your customers and beat your competition.
This practical workbook provides:
A new understanding of hoshin kanri as a grand experimental design
implemented through a system of team agreements.
Clear explanations of the steps of hoshin kanri.
A measure of overall business effectiveness used to determine the focus of
corporate strategy.
A new, improved X-matrix that incorporates a lean "balanced scorecard" for
identifying improvement opportunities and converting them readily into
bottom line results as a value stream P&L in terms that financial managers
and accountants can understand and support.
A CD containing forms, meeting agendas, and examples of X-matrices that
serve marketing and design engineering as well as manufacturing.
This workbook will show you the mechanics of implementing hoshin kanri, so
that you can systematically improve your brand equity, implement Lean
manufacturing and Six Sigma, and integrate your suppliers into a Lean and
Six Sigma organization.
