Discover operational and financial reporting everyone can immediately understand and use; learn how to make decisions to drive improvement throughout the company.
Lean companies always run by the numbers. You need real, relevant and timely data to understand today's performance and take the right actions. You also need operational and financial measurements that can be immediately understood and used by everybody in the organization. Most companies attempt to make break-through lean change while still using the same old performance measurements and financial reports. These traditional measurements were designed for traditional production. Lean companies need different measurements and different financials. They need "metrics that matter." With hands-on examples, learn about operational metrics driving financial results, how to develop and use performance drivers for financial results and customer value, accounting flow and value stream accounting.
