OCTOBER 26 2017

Hoshin Kanri, also known as Hoshin Planning, Objective Cascade or Policy Deployment, is a technique that enables a company’s vision to be translated into objectives and actions for all functions and at all levels.

Airbus began using Hoshin Kanri in late 2013. After perfecting the application of Hoshin Kanri over the past 4 years, the Airbus team revealed how they achieved the transition from the classical management style (by objectives) to a new and improved “management by improvements” style, enabled by this powerful lean practice.

Sincere gratitude to our two corporate sponsors
