Hoshin Kanri and Daily Management: Module 7, Section 5

Dr. Liker's book, Developing Lean Leaders at All Levels: A Practical Guide, was a 2016 winner of the Shingo Research and Professional Publication Award. We have taken the time to extract the individual seminars and lectures of Dr. Liker used to create this world-renowned publication and offer them in a series of topic-specific learning modules. Follow along as we hear Dr. Liker at those actual presentations, delivered first-hand to the students of Lean and Lean Practitioners.

Follow along as Dr. Liker explains the Lean Leadership development model (LLDM) and how it aligns with the accepted principles of operational excellence. Learn about the behaviors required to sustain it in the long term. Understand how leadership must walk the talk of true north. Find out how to actively engage in developing Lean Leader skills.

The teaching objectives for this section are to:

1. Discuss the Hoshin Kanri cycle and how Toyota executives use it.
2. Emphasize how Hoshin Kanri and daily management are interconnected.
3. Illustrate how performance is improved over time with Hoshin Kanri and daily management.

Not worth it

The author stumbles through the lecture... and never gives insight into Hosin Kanri. You can interchange annual planning with the Hosin Kanri, because no other insight is given. "At Toyota, they are already doing it." That is not insight.
