Seminar Description:
Lean principles affect not just manufacturing operations
but also every aspect of your business–sales
and marketing, engineering, product development–and
especially accounting. So if you are using lean principles
to move from batch-and-queue production to flow, you're
probably running into problems with your company's
accounting system.
For instance, does operations to report significant
productivity gains that can't be found in the financial
statements? Do profits to look lower as inventories
are reduced, even though cash flow improves dramatically?
The cause of these and other problems is the way traditional
management accounting systems hide both problems and
true improvements. Created in the early 1900's to
support large batches, long lead times, and lots of
inventory, traditional accounting systems create significant
“false-negative” reporting distortions that
can impede further progress in a lean business. To
sustain a lean transformation, top executive and financial
managers must know how to transform routine accounting
practices to a new system that not only is lean itself
but also supports lean practices.
This workshop gives you the logic, key principles,
and a proven methodology to create a lean accounting
system that accurately reflects the benefits of the
lean transformation. This workshop is not an academic
exercise. It's based on the successful lean accounting
transformation performed by The Wiremold Company beginning
in 1991.
Note: a copy of “Real Numbers: Management
Accounting in a Lean Organization” will be
provided to each attendee.

Seminar Description: As the U.S. economy emerges
from recession, a major competitive advantage for
manufacturers will be the agility of their operations.
Key elements of an agile operation include setup reduction,
small replenishment lot sizes, capacity analysis and
kanban pull systems. It’s not enough to understand
these elements conceptually.
Companies pursuing agility also need specific tools
and techniques to apply the concepts to their unique
operational environments. Excel provides an excellent
platform for delivering these tools quickly, in a
toolset which is widely understood and itself highly
adaptable and agile!
This workshop will examine each of the key elements
below, first with a review of concepts and relevant
theory, then with specific Excel techniques. Attendees
will be presented with specific problems along the
way, with time for hands-on Excel exercises. At the
conclusion of each a recommended solution will be
provided.
Attendee requirements:
- Attendees should have a basic knowledge of Excel.
- Attendees should bring a laptop with Excel 2002
or higher on it. Two people from the same company
may share a laptop. We will provide power for the
laptops.
- All attendees will receive a CD or memory stick
of all templates and exercises conducted in class.
- Workshop is limited to 50 people. We will create
a waiting list for additional attendees.
