Overview: Hoshin Planning is one of the titles commonly used in the Western world to describe Hoshin Kanri. This is a system of planning and deployment which evolved in Japan from Management by Objectives (MBO). One way of understanding Hoshin Planning is to picture a typical well implemented Management By Objectives system, and then to explore the possible differences between this and a Hoshin Planning system. Various considerations should be taken into account in deciding when and how to apply Hoshin ideas and methods to improve planning system.
