Hoshin Planning
• Hoshin is a Japanese term = “compass needle”
- Designates setting strategic direction of the organization
• For HOS Hoshin is:
- A closed loop management system for identifying, focusing and linking the
organization to achieve results. Additionally it contains a daily management that
drives constant progress monitoring of these results and reacts to issues as they
arise
• Traces roots to:
- Management By Objectives (MBO) – Drucker
- Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA)- Shewhart/Deming
• Sometimes referred to as:
- Policy Deployment
- Management By Policy
- Management By Planning
• U.S. Based Companies That Have Embraced It
- Danaher, Hewlett-Packard, Proctor & Gamble, Xerox, Florida Power and Light
(FP&L)

Why do we need Hoshin Planning?
• Why?:
- Proper alignment requires more than independent
establishment of strategies
- Hoshin Planning will align those strategies and drive the
execution
- To Achieve Breakthrough RESULTS!
• Common Failure Modes:
- No review of actions or accountability
- Plans not visible or not measured or measurable
- Not aligned or linked to the needs of the site
A PROCESS to help drive Results!

Hoshin is an active relationship between 2 parts
• The two parts of Hoshin are…
- Hoshin Management
- Daily Management
• Hoshin Management (Strategies & Objectives)
- Special actions/plans are required to achieve a desired
result
• Daily Management (Routine KPI Management)
- Can achieve targets with usual improvement activity and
resources

The Review Process – Ensure Plan and Learn
• Execute to the plan and perform daily, weekly and monthly reviews of
each action plan (Daily Mgt.)
• Reviews are designed to keep the Hoshin Plan on track
- Improvement Action owners don’t come to be evaluated
- The intent is to present the results of self assessment
• The review team provides focused assistance primarily around the
owner’s analytical process and preparation.
- What did you plan to do? (Plan)
- What did you actually achieve? (Do)
- How does actual vs. target compare (CHECK)
- Standardize what’s working, implement countermeasures and/or plan again as
required. (ACT)

• Systematic method to drive to the true root cause(s) of a
problem
• Simply ask “why” in a step ladder approach until fundamental
root cause is discovered. Root cause is not simply listing the
symptoms of a problem
• Normally, after up to 5 steps, the true root cause(s) will be
exposed

Hoshin Planning Summary
• Aligns Strategy and Execution
• Systematically develops and links plans from
organizational vision to operational tactics
• Ensures deep and common understanding and
maximizes ownership and buy-in to plan
• Requires thoughtful, detailed planning for each and
every improvement action
• Consistently assesses actual performance vs. plan
and addresses issues and learns from the process
All Employees are Engaged in the Process
SAY: “All Breakthrough is built on the foundation of Daily Management. We are building PROCESSES, not chasing numbers.”
SAY: “This chart displays the effects of Hoshin Planning on an organization. This figure shows how Hoshin Planning along with Kaizen (continuous improvement) will raise the baseline each year until the breakthrough objectives are reached. Once the breakthrough objectives are reached, that level now becomes the beginning baseline for further kaizen.
Hoshin Planning ensures that a company remains focused, aligned, and proactive, and retains a sense of urgency.
Hoshin Planning will build a sustainable competitive advantage. The key emphasis is SUSTAINABLE. This will produce superior customer satisfaction, major improvements in quality, delivery, and cost (QDC), results that are tied to the strategy, and multi-functional teamwork.”
Hoshin Planning forces an organization to decide what and what not to focus on.
SAY: “Hoshin Planning is a good tool for communication... It gets everyone on the same page for what is or is not important.”
SAY: “PD provides focus (what to do, what not to do). HP communicates the importance; what HP means for each person.”
Cover these points:
Hoshin Planning is used to align targets and means throughout the organization. This means aligning objectives and resources.
Everyone knows their place and how they fit into the “big picture” from the Strategic Plan to the Point of Impact.
SAY: “If management is not doing breakthrough action plan development then what are they doing? Breakthrough means managing the action plans. Can not push the Breakthrough management down because that level is doing kaizen and daily management. 60-70% of the leadership’s time is on Breakthrough management.
With Hoshin Planning, the top management should be spending more than 60% of their time on breakthroughs.
The diagram represents what will take the most time with each of the management levels when Policy Deployment is in place. Challenge yourself to meet this model. Leaders should lead.”
SAY:
If a ship has cannonball holes and you don’t plug them, the ship will sink fast.
If you only plug holes with no one steering, the ship will run aground.
Understand where you are and what is breakthrough for you.
This is an active chart. Move it in the right direction.
SAY: “Level 1 Matrix is done literally out of STRAP. Like to see Level 1 with the budget, Level 2 done in December with Action Plans. Senior management transitions into the following year in Q4 of current year. Leadership team should be thinking of the following year after the STRAP review.”
SAY: “KEY that Budgeting process is done in conjunction with HP (otherwise may not “fund” Improvement Priorities).”
SAY: “Daily management processes well in-hand equals bulk of time spent on Hoshin Planning.”
The Planning Process
Establishing Organizational Vision
The first phase in the planning process is establishing organization vision. During this phase, the strategic business unit will develop a vision statement, mission statement, and values statement for the company.
Strategic Planning/ Develop 3-5 Year Breakthrough Objectives
The second phase in the planning process is known as strategic planning. Strategic planning involves analyzing the gap of where the company should be functioning and where it is currently functioning. If necessary, root causes are determined from the gaps that are discovered and breakthrough objectives are developed in order to target the root causes. The breakthrough objectives are worked towards over a period of 3-5 years.
Develop Annual Breakthrough Objectives & Improvement Priorities
The third phase in the planning process is determining what is breakthrough for the first year of your policy deployment, and developing improvement priorities that are process-oriented, focused, clear, measurable, and designed to meet the annual breakthrough objectives. Consideration should be paid to developing the underlying business processes necessary to achieving the result.
Deploy Improvement Priorities
The fourth phase in the Hoshin planning process is to deploy the improvement priorities. At this step, the multi-functional areas of the company are identified and the improvement priorities are aligned to the multi-functional areas.
The Implementation Process
Implement Improvement Priorities
At this point the planning development is now put to action. Value Stream Mapping is performed to identify HOS/Lean opportunities. The Lean Tools are selected and utilized in order to maximize opportunity and meet objectives.
The Review Process
Monthly Review
Each level of deployed policies is reviewed on a monthly basis. Scorecards and control charts, both measurement tools, are used to track monthly progress. At this review period, the focus is on the exceptions; where are you off target?
When you determine the exceptions, countermeasures are developed and acted upon.
Annual Review Process
The annual review is a self diagnosis step that examines the results of the policy deployment and focuses upon the processes you did or did not set in place.
SAY: “We will begin now to focus more in-depth on the critical thinking process. This is the 5 chain step process to create Hoshin Planning.”
SAY: “__________________ has always strived towards world class benchmarks. Even if we don’t get to world class, the journey will get us much farther than the competition.”
SAY: “Breakthrough Thinking requires examining world-class standards and comparing it to the current situation. This also requires narrowing focus down to the critical few.”
SAY: “No 3-5 year Breakthrough can be achieved in 1 year. Neck down the funnel to something actionable.”
SAY: “Identify First Year Breakthrough Objective. This is what you want to accomplish in Year 1 to target your Breakthrough.”
SAY: “The lines of the fishbone diagram represent different bones that show possible causes of the gap between the breakthrough and the current situation. The “5 Whys” represent identifying true problems or root causes, and not just the symptoms of the problem. We will attack these hurdles with Improvement Priorities.”
SPECIAL NOTE TO INSTRUCTOR
If class does not have the data to do this step immediately, it may be necessary for the instructor to go to the next step, “HOW MUCH/WHEN” in order to “jump start” the class into being able to do this step– “HOW.”
SAY: “When objectives have been developed, measures are developed in order to determine progress in meeting the objective.
SAY: “KEY – Pick a metric that will tell you if the process is improving.”
SPECIAL NOTE TO INSTRUCTOR
If the class does not have data, the instructor may opt to skip to this step when actually going through the PCT later with the class. This will help “jump start” the class into determining Step 2 – HOW.
SAY: “Identify the roles and responsibilities of the multi-functional areas and their impact on the objectives so we can deploy the objectives to them.
SAY: “Important point – Dynamic (changing all the time) resource allocation.”
SPECIAL NOTE TO INSTRUCTOR
Get them thinking about where their resources are and where they need them to be.
Instructor can expand discussion discuss “resource” in a variety of ways.
SAY: “Hoshin Planning is the process used to manage Breakthroughs. Daily Management is the process used to manage Key Performance Indicators. Breakthroughs become Daily Management when they are sustainable.”
SAY: “Daily Management is the foundation for Hoshin Planning. HOS lean maturity dictates when a Daily Management process in one company may be a Breakthrough.”
SAY: “Effective Daily Management will drive incremental improvement.”
NOTE: This slide has animation.
DO: Cover broadly what each of the 5 topics of the Process of Critical Thinking are and introduce this Top Level Matrix. Stress that while this training covers the instructions necessary to complete the HP matrices, that HP is NOT FORM FILLING-OUT. It is about the process of critical thinking that drives our focus.
SAY (re: How Much): “The ‘How Much’ is where we keep score and when we miss it we do countermeasures.” (this then feeds the next slide on countermeasures).
When you click to animate, indicate to the class that items placed on the matrix are always placed in priority order so that you are always sure of what is most important when viewing the items, and to ensure that your top priorities are appropriately resourced.
SAY: Every solid dot that deploys an Improvement Priority gets a Second Level Matrix! The clear circles indicate other areas of support. The clear circles do NOT get a second Level Matrix. Why do you think this is so? (so that we do not loose focus!)
NOTE: It is not necessary to insert dots linking targets to the 3-5 year breakthrough.
SAY: “Do not let mechanics get in the way of the Process of Critical Thinking”
SAY: “If the Process of Critical Thinking is done well – what appears on your HP charts will be a natural fall-out from that thinking.”
SAY: “The targets to improve do not cascade directly to a Level 2. Targets to Improve show the effectiveness of the key driver process.”
SAY: “Targets DO not rotate from the top level to the next level. The Second Level Improvement Priorities have separate Targets to Improve than the top level.”
DO: Discuss the rotation around the matrix. What goes where?
SAY: “KEY POINT – Do not over-deploy! We want to get to Action Plan as soon as possible.”
SAY: “Without an action plan – Hoshin Planning is worthless.
Policy Deployment Targets drive the annual result.
The Action Plan drives the month by month results.
Create an Action Plan for every Improvement Priority at the Point of Impact.
End goal on Scorecard is already determined.”
SAY: “KEY: Don’t get lost in actions and not calibrate back to higher level breakthrough objective. Are you working on the right things?”
DO: Summarize where VSM fits in.
SAY: “Action Plans will drive what you plan on your Scorecard.”
NOTE: This slide animates the definitions of the form.
SAY: This slide shows where the improvement priority and target go on the top level bowling chart. The improvement priority and target are copied in the same manner to a second level bowling chart.
SAY: “Each matrix gets a Scorecard.”
DO: Click to the next slide. The purpose of having this slide blank is so that the participants can clearly see the form. The following slide has animated points about Countermeasures.
SAY: “Want to spend time looking forward... Not all backward.”
SAY: “Regarding the Growth Agenda, HP should include Growth already, and the purpose of the Growth Agenda is to outline expectations that HP should address Growth.”
SAY: “Not as relevant at Level 2, 3, etc.”
