Product Description:

Winner Of The 2007 Shingo Prize For Excellence In Manufacturing Research!



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.

    Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Conceptual and at the same time practical being powerful to enterprises
    This book is very didactic and conceptual and furthermore brings to the enterprise practical concepts on how to apply those in the companies in order to increase its profitability. The idea of organizing the company strategy and getting the track on how to apply on the processes flow is very worth and attractive and powerful. The teaching of how to identify the main wastes in the processes, those which in most of the times are hidden is essential. This book is indicated to those who are interested on how to increase the company efficiency and profitability in a consistent way.


    Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The absolute best on hoshin kanri
    Tom Jackson's practical and valuable insights are rivaled only by the importance and benefits of applying Hoshin Kanri. Hoshin Kanri as a practice has been applied as part of lean transformation efforts for quite a long time. But there were still very limited resources for people to learn more about it. Tom's work in this arena is extensive, and throughout all of his books (others are Implementing a Lean Management System and Corporate Diagnosis), he has focused on tools and systems for management to use in a lean company. This is the only book you'll need - I highly recommend picking it up.

    One of the things I most appreciate about this book is how it integrates hoshin kanri with the Plan-Do-Check-Act process. This of course is the intent of hoshin kanri, but the linkage was never presented so clearly.
