Lean
Administration: An Organization’s Journey to Implement Lean
as a System Lean
Administration, by Jerry Feingold, is a wake-up call to companies
that pride themselves on being Lean. Unfortunately, these companies
measure their success on manufacturing improvements, but have overlooked
the rest of the enterprise where the majority of waste exists. Lean
Administration provides a roadmap and requisite tools for improving
the critical administrative functions in an enterprise. Fun to read
and highly instructive, Lean Administration proves conclusively
that Lean isn't just a manufacturing tool, and illustrates how leaders
must drive change throughout the organization- not just the factory
floor.

Accounting
for World Class Operations: A
Practical Guide for Providing Relevant Information in Support of
the Lean Enterprise
by
Jerrold Solomon & Rosemary Fullerton
WINNER
OF THE SHINGO PRIZE FOR MANUFACTURING EXCELLENCE!
Having
an appropriate accounting system in place is vital to the Lean process.
Firms need performance measurements that reflect the benefits of
change made from implementing Lean practices. Too often those benefits
are hidden in outdated accounting reports filled with indecipherable,
archaic jargon. The need for a clearer, simpler, more strategic
performance measurement system in Lean companies is long past due.
Leadership needs a practical guide that will provide a roadmap for
beneficial accounting change and confidence to achieve global competitiveness.
Solomon and Fullerton present that roadmap in this unique and timely
book. Their clear and concise writing take the mystery and fear
out of a Lean accounting conversion. This book offers encouragement
and guidance for moving from a traditional standard cost system
to a simple accounting system that provides appropriate information
for a Lean manufacturing environment. Their case examples from real-world
experiences of successful accounting changes that support Lean conversions
are insightful for those wanting reassurance and direction.
