What You Will Learn

This 5-session webinar series is designed as an introduction of the steps to build and implement a lean accounting system. It is intended for executives, financial and operations managers within lean companies or companies about to begin the lean journey.

Each session has specific learning objectives:

1. Principles of a Lean Accounting System – learn the principles of lean accounting and learn how the box score integrates these principles into the operating processes of your organization, which ensures a successful implementation of a lean accounting system
2. Value Stream Management – learn how to integrate the box score & lean decision making with lean practices & methods to create a value stream management system to control, improve and plan your company’s value streams
3. Lean Accounting Implementation – learn the specific steps required to ensure a successful transformation from a standard costing-based system to a lean accounting system. You will learn how to define the role of your executive team and how to create your own implementation plan.
4. Transaction Elimination – learn how lean controls and the lean accounting system creates the opportunity to eliminate most transactions in your business, saving both time and money.

At the conclusion of this course, your “take away” activities will be to:

• Create a transaction elimination plan for your company and calculate the expected savings from eliminating this waste
  
• Use the BMA Lean Accounting Implementation Assessment to determine the best implementation approach for your company
• Create your own 6-month lean accounting implementation plan -- based on BMA's Lean Accounting Implementation Approach -- for management to approve
