SUMMARY:BMA Webinar: Time is Money - Calculating Value Stream Capacity
DESCRIPTION:“Time is money” is an expression we’ve all heard or used many times. It means “don’t squander or waste time because it’s a valuable resource that needs to be spent wisely.” In lean companies\, this is how lean leaders view time\, as a valuable resource. Their focus is on getting all employees to spending more time serving customers better and less time on everything else. This means that in order to support lean\, a lean management accounting system needs to measure time accordingly. This called capacity.  \n\n\n\nIn this webinar you will learn: \n\n\n\n\nWhy capacity needs to be measured\n\n\n\nThe standard work to calculate capacity\n\n\n\nHow to calculate capacity in manufacturing\n\n\n\nHow to calculate capacity in service\n\n\n\nHow to use a capacity measurement to drive profitable growth\n\n\n\n\nJoin Nick Katko of BMA on January 30\, 2024\, at 11:00 am Eastern US time for this free webinar\, which will last one hour.  \n\n\n\nDon’t worry if you cannot attend the webinar live because of other commitments or the time of the live webinar is not good for you. This webinar will be recorded and will be made available to everyone who has registered. We will send everyone who registered an e-mail link to listen to the recorded webinar.  \n\n\n\nIf you have any questions about this webinar\, please contact Nick at nkatko@maskell.com. \n\n\n\nWho Should Attend: Finance and accounting leaders\, managers and team members and executives and owners of lean organizations. \n\n\n\nContinuing Education Credits for CPAs: 1 hour of CPE credit (must attend live webinar) \n\n\n\nField of Study: Specialized Knowledge \n\n\n\nAdvanced Preparation: None \n\n\n\nProgram Level: Basic \n\n\n\nDelivery Method: Group Internet \n\n\n\nCPE Credits Earned: 1

SUMMARY:Webinar - Does Lean Reduce Costs? Yes!

SUMMARY:The Lean CFO 2nd Edition Book Launch Event
DESCRIPTION:Please join me for The Lean CFO – 2nd Edition online book launch event on February 10\, 2023\, from 1:00 – 2:00 pm EST. \n\n\n\nAs I was writing Practicing Lean Accounting I often referred back to the first edition of The Lean CFO. What I recognized when I re-read it is that how I think about\, teach and explain lean management accounting has changed since the first edition was published. \n\n\n\nSo\, in the spirit of continuous improvement\, I decided to write a second edition. The layout of the second edition now follows a lean management accounting transformation process. The entire book has been re-written to be industry neutral\, rather than manufacturing centric. Another objective in re-writing was to better explain how lean management accounting and lean practices work together to create a lean management accounting system. \n\n\n\nI hope you can join me and some panelists as we talk about the new book! \n\n\n\nThere will also be special book pricing for this event. \n\n\n\nHere is the link to register for the event and receive the Zoom invitation. Please feel free to share this message with others!

SUMMARY:Webinar: Connecting Continuous Improvement to the Bottom Line
DESCRIPTION:Lean is a long-term business strategy\, primarily focusing on employees and learning. Through various continuous improvement practices\, employees learn to master their work\, solve the right problems and help an organization learn how to do things tomorrow it cannot do today.The operational impact of continuous improvement is well known. Eliminating waste creates capacity\, which can be used to serve customers better\, improve productivity and improve employee satisfaction. But what about the financial impact? Oftentimes conventional financial analytical practices do not capture the true financial benefits of continuous improvement. This becomes a “problem to be solved.”This webinar will explain how to make the true cause-effect relationships between continuous improvement and financial improvement visible throughout the organization. Integrating these relationships will improve the quality of business decision-making and leverage continuous improvement for financial success for the entire organization.In this webinar\, you will learn: \n\n\n\n\nthe numbers to establish the true cause-effect relationships between continuous improvement and financial improvement.\n\n\n\nhow to use the economics of lean to calculate the financial benefit of continuous improvement\n\n\n\nhow continuous improvement achieves cost reduction over time\n\n\n\nwhy certain conventional financial analyses can show that continuous improvement is “not working” financially

DESCRIPTION:Lean financial leadership is how the lean accounting work of individuals is connected to that of accounting teams and ultimately to the rest of the organization. \n\n\n\nWhen we talk about lean financial leadership\, we’re not just talking about the CFO\, we’re talking about all of accounting’s interactions with the rest of the company\, its customers and external stakeholders. Whether you’re a financial analyst\, staff accountant\, payroll specialist\, billing team supervisor or finance executive\, you have a “lean financial leadership” role.  \n\n\n\nLean financial leadership is strategic in nature because it will define the role of lean accounting in the lean company.
