The benefits of using a Bowling Chart for your policy deployment

- Focus on understanding the areas of your plan which are underperforming
- Create consistency in the definition of KPIs and metrics
- Increase the frequency of data collection to inform better decision making
- Overcome a silo mentality (as with all of Hoshin) as different areas of the business must enter and manage their respective areas in the Bowling Chart
