The lean-stack take
For a lean team it keeps the X-Matrix next to KPIs, action plans and kaizen work. An earlier check of the vendor's site described building and cascading X-matrices across several levels, which supports catchball between layers of management.
Best for
Organizations that run hoshin kanri with cascaded X-matrices and want KPIs, action plans and kaizen work linked to them.
Watch out for
Prices, hosting details and recent product updates were not confirmed from search results, so ask the vendor about all three.

Features
What LeanOptima offers
X-Matrix for hoshin kanri
The vendor's X Matrix Hoshin Kanri Software page covers the core product. The X-Matrix links objectives, annual goals, priorities and metrics on one page.
Cascading matrices
An earlier check of the vendor's site described building, editing and cascading X-matrices across several levels. This supports catchball, where each level agrees its share of the plan.
TTI/KPI management
A TTI/KPI management page covers tracking indicators. Teams use these metrics in the check step of the hoshin cycle.
Action plans and projects
An action plan and project solutions page covers turning priorities into tracked actions and projects. This connects the yearly plan to the work that carries it out.
Kaizen management
A kaizen management page covers lean process improvement work. Kaizen events can then be tied to the priorities they support.
Partners and licensing
The site has a partners page and a licensing page for its lean deployment technology. Teams working with a lean consultant can check whether that firm is a partner.
Lean techniques supported
