"Anyone involved in a lean transformation inevitably bumps up
against the vagaries of the accounting systems that reward
overproduction and waste and seem to punish true improvement. We
wonder what would happen if the accountants actually came to the
production floor and witnessed firsthand the havoc created by their
systems. This volume gathers together some of the best thinkers to
take a critical look at traditional cost accounting and defines a
path forward to 'lean accounting.'"
—Jeff Liker, Professor of Industrial and Operations
Engineering, University of Michigan
"Joe Stenzel has put together a timely compendium of writings
from thought leaders in lean accounting. The viewpoints in this
fine book are diverse and yet proclaim a consistent message: that
conventional management accounting is broken--and here is how to
fix it."
—Richard J. Schonberger, President, Schonberger &
Associates
"If you are serious about understanding and implementing Lean
Accounting in conjunction with your Lean Enterprise journey, this
book will illuminate the specific techniques, but more importantly,
will explain the cultural changes that are a prerequisite for
success."
—Jerry Solomon, Vice President of Operations, Hunt
Valley, for MarquipWardUnited, a division of Barry-Wehmiller
Companies, Inc.
