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.
