Lean Cost Management

Lean Cost Management
Accounting for Lean by Establishing Flow
By James Huntzinger

Hardcover, 6x9, 336 Pages
ISBN: 1-932159-51-7
Publishing May 2007

$44.95

Obtaining and developing useful accounting information is required of any manufacturer to disclose information for both internal and external purposes. However, today’s accounting systems are inadequate to provide the informational support required to meet these objectives. This book is focused specifically on accounting information for internal purposes and reveals the failure of traditional cost and managerial accounting methods using both a current and historical context.

Lean Cost Management demonstrates the importance of the relationship between the physical Lean enterprise and accounting for continued success. It offers a combination of principles, philosophies, and technical attributes for a transition to a Lean enterprise and the role cost management plays in this new enterprise. It is a must read for accountants, engineers, and operational, business, and engineering managers.


Key Features:
  • Applies both philosophical and practical applications of superior cost management into the manufacturing enterprise and that a complete change in thinking, physical operations and methods are needed for a successful transformation
  • Includes a working model of a production factors spreadsheet for tracking value stream costs
  • Argues that managerial-cost accounting truly should be about designing, executing, and improving the business system
  • Offers 100 years of knowledge and insight, from the fathers of the industrial revolution to today’s current experts, on Lean accounting and the Lean enterprise
  • Illustrates the techniques, principles, and philosophies developed by the architects of Toyota’s very successful North American operational accounting system


About the Author(s):

He has broad experience in Lean implementation within machining, assembly, and fabrication for a wide range of companies and products.
