Start screen in H·DELTA: company vision under the North Star, values and three breakthrough objectives as progress rings in green and red

The principle

From strategy to today.

H·DELTA breaks company goals down level by level – following the proven Hoshin Kanri logic, step by step from top to bottom – right down to each person’s contribution and today. The gap between target and reality becomes visible every day, and smaller.

  1. True North
    5–10 yearsWhere the company wants to be in the long run.
  2. Breakthrough goals
    3–5 yearsThe few goals that move you towards True North.
  3. Annual goals

  4. Department & team
    Quarter to yearGoals aligned through catchball.
  5. My tasks
    This weekActions with owners and due dates.
  6. Daily performance
    TodayIs the KPI on target – and if not, why?
  7. Daily kaizen · Kaizen · 5 Why · Fishbone · A3
    FoundationDeviations become improvements – month by month with PDCA.

The core workflow

From a red KPI to a verified effect.

H·DELTA is built around this – everything else supports it. A team sees deviations the same day, finds the cause on site, implements actions with a name and a date, and closes the case only when the effect is proven.

  1. Step 1

    01 · Detect

    Daily results vs target

    Every miss is red at once and briefly explained. Critical KPIs open a case immediately, others after repeated red days.

  2. Step 2

    02 · Understand

    Cause, not guesswork

    5 Why and Ishikawa where it happens – with evidence, until the cause lies in the process.

  3. Step 3

    03 · Act

    Containment and countermeasure

    Contain, fix, use an A3 for bigger issues – every action with an owner and a date.

  4. Step 4

    04 · Sustain

    Only the effect closes it

    A case closes only with verified evidence. What works becomes the standard and is shared as a one point lesson.

12-week reset

Twelve weeks with a roadmap – and a report that shows the impact.

The reset is built into the app: a start wizard turns the starting point, focus areas and goals into a week-by-week roadmap – through understand, focus, implement and sustain.

12-week reset in H·DELTA: roadmap of the implement phase with completed steps of week 7 and a status per week
  • Start wizard: team or pilot area, manager, starting point, 2–3 focus areas and up to three measurable goals
  • Roadmap with concrete steps per week and a jump to the matching function – many steps are detected by the app itself
  • Weekly check in five minutes: status, team mood, goal values, achieved – blocked – next step
  • Impact report as PDF: goals before and after, maturity at start and re-check, implementation in the period, successes and next steps
  • Cockpit for several teams – and status codes teams use to send their progress to their coach

Daily Performance in H·DELTA: top 4 by SQDCME – safety, quality, delivery and people & morale with value against target, update frequency and owner Top 4 by SQDCME on the phone

KPIs by SQDCME

Four KPIs that matter – broadly spread.

Following proven lean practice, every KPI belongs to an area: safety, quality, delivery, cost, people & morale or environment. The four most important ones sit at the top – ideally from different areas.

  • Every KPI carries its letter: S, Q, D, C, M or E
  • Top 4 as a board and in “At a glance” – with a hint when areas double up
  • At every KPI: how often it is updated and who is responsible – person or team
  • As many further KPIs in the detail as you need
  • KPIs belong to the team: structure of team, area and plant, area values roll up automatically
  • What a team cannot solve alone escalates to the next level

Ishikawa & 5 Why

From problem to root cause – with evidence.

The problem sits at the head, below it 4M or 6M. Under every possible cause the why chain begins – as deep as needed, branched where there are several answers.

  • Why 1 to 5 – stop early or branch at any level
  • Refuted causes struck through, proven root causes red – with evidence
  • One countermeasure per root cause with owner and due date
  • 5 Why as a branching why chain – without categories, box by box
Ishikawa as a cause tree: problem at the head, categories man, machine, material, method, why chains, one red root cause and refuted causes Why chain on the phone with root cause and evidence

Team participation

How many in the team improve every week?

The goal is realistic: everyone takes at least 15 minutes for improvement once a week. A short check-in is enough – from this, H·DELTA shows how alive the improvement culture in the team really is.

  • Participation this week, eight-week average and team streak in weeks
  • Eight-week trend – each team sets its own target rate, e.g. 50 or 80%
  • Anonymous: only how many say “Yes” is counted – never who
  • Visible only from five team members, with no time tracking
Team participation in H·DELTA: 50% this week, 80% on average over the last eight weeks, a team streak of eight weeks and a weekly trend
