Hoshin Kanri is a model for strategy management that was conceived in Japan and is usually applied in the context of Total Quality Management (TQM) and lean implementations. This model is recognized for its strength to build the link between business strategy and business execution. The limited universe of empirical research about Hoshin Kanri, in addition to the resurgence of interest in it amongst western managers, who may face cultural challenges in Hoshin Kanri implementation, leads to the necessity of systematizing a set of universally applicable guiding principles for Hoshin Kanri initiatives. An initial model for guidelines was developed in a previous work through a systematic literature review supported by content analysis techniques. However, in order to develop guidelines that are as relevant as possible for the context of companies, the model must be refined through an empirical approach that takes into account practical experiences from different experts. This work fulfills this through a systematic approach by applying expert interviews for the successive refinement of the guidelines model. The results comprise the refined and confirmed model of guidelines regarding the process and the context of Hoshin Kanri and the discussion about conceptual foundations of the model.
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to propose a methodology to support the Hoshin Kanri (HK) process taking into account the variance of senior managers’ perspective regarding the relationships among objectives, k...
