Policy Deployment (Hoshin Kanri) is an organisation learning and competitive resource system. 'Hoshin' translates as direction and 'Kanri' as management.

Policy Deployment forms the backbone of company's like Toyota's practice of profit management. Hoshin Kanri involves management at all levels through the innovative catchball process. Financial targets are carefully related to specific cost drivers and process improvements that ensure those targets will be met.
