AMEND utilizes the hoshin kanri approach to support clients in Operations Planning.
Hoshin kanri is a method of capturing and cementing strategic goals and bringing them to reality. In Japanese, hoshin means “setting a direction,” while kanri means “management” or “control.”
The name suggests an operation working together towards a unified goal. At its core is a collaborative effort among various management levels to participate in goals planning and achievement. Powerful US companies like Hewlett-Packard and Xerox have adopted Hoshin into their strategic planning.
When all team members contribute to a shared goal, the team grows more effective as a unit. And individuals are more likely to succeed knowing the marks against which their performance will be judged. Reaching short-term goals enables stronger long-term results without the pressure of quarterly performance reviews. The result of hoshin kanri participation is team strength that positively impacts profitability.
