Companies making the transition to becoming a lean enterprise soon discover that their traditional accounting methods become a roadblock.

During this ESSENTIAL two-day workshop, you will learn how Lean Accounting solves these problems using an integrated, lean-focused set of simplified accounting, control, and measurement tools.

It is not possible, in the longer term, to sustain lean manufacturing and lean thinking without making significant changes to the organization’s accounting, control, and measurement methods. These methods represent an important part of the company’s culture and, as that culture changes with the introduction of lean thinking and lean manufacturing, it is important to change the company’s financial control and tracking.

This workshop is designed for a cross section of finance and operations professionals. Because undertaking a lean accounting transformation will affect all areas of a business, this leads to a better understanding of the issues associated with lean accounting and lean performance measurement, and to developing realistic implementation plans going forward.
