The Hoshin Kanri Forest : Lean Strategic Organizational Design

Strategic Lean Management (LM) efforts significantly fail because leaders often lack a map of their organizations. This book will provide a comprehensive quantifiable framework for strategically designing organizations for LM. Combining knowledge about Strategic Organizational Design and LM, the authors introduce a theory called Hoshin Kanri Forest that considers organizations as networks with organizational structure, functional connectivity, and effective dynamic patterns for attaining an optimal Strategic Organizational Design towards the strategic goal of LM. It presents the future of Lean organizations relying on strategically designing its structure, function, and effective dynamics.

• Provides quantifiable metrics to steer Hoshin Kanri towards Lean Strategic Organizational Designs.

• Gives leaders an implementation roadmap, the first scientific organizational- and managerial-based method to implement Hoshin Kanri holistically, and a comprehensive framework to implement Lean beyond the organizational boundaries towards customers and suppliers.
