SUMMARY:Lean Finance & Accounting Workshop
DESCRIPTION:About:\nThe operational strategy most effective in achieving world-class performance is Lean. Unfortunately\, accounting can be an obstacle to the Lean journey as traditional performance metrics are not aligned with nor promote Lean behavior. Operation’s professionals achieve great gains on the production floor but are surprised when there is little evidence of improved operating results on traditional financial reports. Accounting and manufacturing must work together to develop new metrics and “plain English” financial reporting. This class will illustrate the changes required based on 30 years of leading such changes. \n  \nDate: July 26 & 27 | Time: 8:00 am – 4:30 pm \nLocation: TBD; location information will be forwarded with registration confirmation \nPrice: Registration is per person and covers both days as well as all participant materials\, continental breakfast\, coffee and lunch. \n\nEarly Bird Registration: $1\,195.00 per person (must be received prior to June 30\, 2017)\nRegular Registration: $1\,395 per person (must be received July 1 – 14\, 2017; no registrations after 7/14 deadline)\n\n  \nCancellation Policy: Full refund up to four weeks before the workshop. Cancellations within four weeks of the workshop will be subjected to a $350 cancellation fee. Substitutions may be made prior to the start of the workshop. \nWho Should Attend:\nThis course will benefit all areas of a company – and any company whether in manufacturing or not – as the entire team needs to understand the scorecard of the business and how to motivate Lean behavior.  While accounting professionals will gain a great deal\, it is strongly encouraged that manufacturing\, product development and continuous improvement associates come as a team in order to build a plan going forward that makes sense for the entire company\, both the providers of information and the critical uses of that information. \n\nPresidents\nCFO’s\nControllers\nVP’s & Directors of Finance\, Operations & Supply Chain\nPlant Managers\nManufacturing Engineers\nCI Professionals\nProduct Development Engineers\nHR Leaders\n\n  \n  \nMore Details & Inquiry Form\n
