Hoshin kanri is a method devised to capture and cement strategic goals as well as flashes of insight about the future and develop the means to bring these into reality.†Also called Policy Deployment or Hoshin Planning, it is a Strategic planning/Strategic management methodology, developed by Dr. Yoji Akao, that uses a Shewhart cycle (Plan-Do-Check-Act) to create goals, choose control points (measurable milestones), and link daily control activities to company strategy.
