Traditional cost accounting methods based on standard product costing are totally inadequate in a lean environment: on the one hand they are in themselves complex and time consuming, on the other they do not measure the true effects of a lean transformation and often lead to the wrong decision. On the contrary value stream accounting, which is the corner stone of lean accounting, provides on a weekly basis useful economic and performance measures, is simple to operate and encourages sound business decisions.<\/p>\n

In short, lean Accounting:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Actively supports the lean transformation.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Helps grow the business by providing better information for better decisions.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Provides lean-focused measurements and reporting that motivate lean change.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Shows the true financial impact of lean improvement leading to growth and profitability.<\/p>\n

\u2022Provides information that is clear and understandable to everyone, without obscure financial language.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Is itself lean, simple, and low waste.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0\u201cpillars\u201d\u00a0<\/b>of Lean Accounting are the following: to provide useful performance measurements, to replace traditional standard costing with value stream costing, to support sound decision making, to eliminate all unnecessary transactions, to measure the true effects of lean improvements, to make the budgeting process leaner and more effective.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0approach<\/b>\u00a0to lean accounting should be gradual and follow the lean transformation process. The best way to start is with a training session for people not only from accounting but also from operations, technical design, marketing, purchasing etc. After this, lean accounting should be applied to a pilot value stream in order to test the methods and see the benefits. After this first test it can be extended to all value streams.<\/p>\n
