Hoshin has been called the application of the plan-do-study-act model to the management process. The plan, do, study and act model is also called the Deming cycle or the Shewhart Model. The foundation for this model was created by Dr. Walter Shewhart working in the Bell Telephone Laboratories in the 1920’s conducting research on methods to improve quality and lower costs. Shewhart developed the concept of control with regard to variation, and came up with continuous improvement. Doctor Deming built upon Shewhart’s work and took the concepts to Japan following world war two. There, Japanese industry adopted the concepts whole heartedly. The resulting high quality of Japanese products is world renowned. Click here for a complete four phase Hoshin Kanri example! Hoshin Principles
