Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

The methods and concepts presented in the bestselling first edition revolutionized the approach to the management and control of Lean companies. Enhanced with extensive end-of-chapter exercises and downloadable resources with Lean accounting tools, the second edition of this preeminent practitioner’s guide is now suitable for classroom use.

Practical Lean Accounting: A Proven System for Measuring and Managing the Lean Enterprise, Second Edition explains exactly what it takes to transform a traditional accounting system to one that supports and enhances a company’s Lean efforts. Defining the fundamental principles of Lean accounting, it demonstrates how to use them to identify and eliminate wasteful transactions. The book includes coverage of cell performance measurement, use of the box score, operational and financial planning, cost targeting, Lean accounting diagnostics, and value stream mapping. Retaining the easy-to-use format that made the first edition a bestseller, this updated edition includes:

• A new section on the use of value stream performance measurements in continuous improvement
• A re-written Target Costing chapter that emphasizes a value-based approach to the management of the Lean value system
• A Lean Accounting Diagnostic tool to help you assess progress and develop a plan for implementing changes
• Cutting-edge examples that illustrate implementation in accounting departments
• Downloadable resources with data from the ECI Value Stream Cost Analysis case study included in the text, Excel templates, and end-of-chapter questions with solutions

The book contains a wealth of tools that makes it ideal for company training sessions and advanced undergraduate and graduate-level courses. For each major example provided, two similar problems are included―one for instructors to guide students through and a second for students to work through on their own. An additional set of problems and questions for testing purposes are also available to instructors on the authors’ website.

Unfortunately, during the publishing process mistakes can be made that are not caught before the book is printed. Productivity Press takes great care to catch any errors prior to the printing stage.

Reseña del editor

Practical Lean Accounting demonstrates the adjustments that must be made to accounting systems in service of companies implementing lean operations. The author uses a single case study to illustrate the lean accounting actions that need to occur with each stage of an organization’s transformation. In addition to recording lean activities, the financial methods taught also serve as tools to help map out and facilitate the transformation to lean. A CD-ROM is included containing detailed forms, charts, and diagrams that can be put to actual use by CFOs, controllers, accounting staff, and general managers in companies making the move to lean.
