Hoshin software supports ISO audit
The Hoshin software was a big help with our most recent ISO audit. While covering the section on continuous improvement and management responsibility, our President shared the Hoshin process with the auditors and showed them our planning tables and metrics. Needless to say, they were impressed! We had no write-ups and continuous improvement was listed as one of our strengths.

Description

PCHoshin 3.0 Main Switchboard Successful organizations use their business or strategic planning process to focus and link activities throughout the organization. The intent is to assure people are working on the right things and to provide a method to track progress and achieve results. In most cases, however, the planning process is not structured and is rarely reviewed so a great plan simply collects dust.

PCHoshin 3.0 can bring your planning process to life. It can help make your strategic or business plan become the way you manage instead of a document people just file away. PCHoshin 3.0 is based on the Hoshin Kanri process described in the Hoshin Handbook. A free copy of the handbook is included with each software purchase. PCHoshin 3.0 provides a planning structure that efficiently documents and deploys key objectives. It provides a methodology to track progress and take corrective action when performance strays from course. PCHoshin 3.0 can become an essential element of an organization's ISO implementation, Baldrige application, Balanced Scorecard or Six Sigma implementation.

Software Benefits:

  • Your plan becomes a living document that is actually used to manage the organization.
  • Quickly create and deploy your plan. PCHoshin 3.0 provides the planning structure so you can concentrate on plan content.
  • Employee buy-in is improved because owners directly contribute to developing the plan. It's their plan!
  • Management can quickly identify areas falling behind plan by using the integrated status flags.
  • Periodic reviews become much more efficient because discussion is focused on issues rather than just providing everyone with "fifteen minutes of air time."
  • Employees are self-motivated to accomplish milestones because plan status is visible to everyone within the organization.
  • Problems are less likely to fall through the cracks because of PCHoshin 3.0's integrated corrective action or abnormality tables.
  • You don't have to adopt new planning terminology. Keep the terms you are comfortable with. PCHoshin 3.0's form and report labels are customizable.
  • Reduce the overhead associated with managing your plan.
