Case Study: Major US Aerospace Manufacturer achieves organization-wide Hoshin Kanri alignment and traceable execution with i-nexus

Deploying Hoshin Kanri in industry-leading aircraft engine division

Major US Aerospace Manufacturer, a global service operator of aircraft engines for civil, military, industrial and marine applications, needed to align all areas of the business into a single “policy deployment” (Hoshin Cascade) and gain visibility into progress against plan. To address this, the company engaged i-nexus and deployed i-nexus for Hoshin Kanri along with an Initial Deployment Package and associated consulting, training and configuration services.

i-nexus implemented a unified 6 Level Hoshin Plan with a full Planning Cycle and Catchball process using an X‑Matrix, plus blended project plans and connected metrics to improve traceability and prioritization across the business. The i-nexus solution delivered clear execution visibility and resource-informed prioritization, supporting 540 goals, 1,500 KPIs, 700 projects and 75 organizations.
