Lean finance - Workshop SG 2018

Overview

Every manager has the dual responsibility for optimising the application of resources
under their control, as well as seeking ways to minimise the costs of operational
activities. Therefore knowledge and awareness of costing and management accounting through the application of LEAN techniques is essential.

Develop your understanding of LEAN in a practical business environment and learn tools to help you identify the inefficiencies, waste and restraints on the effective utilisation of resources.

Discover practical ways of developing plans for the implementation of LEAN tools and techniques. In addition, learn how to measure and monitor what is necessary for the sustainable growth of the new, LEAN organisation, in order to see the benefits of improved efficiency, higher employee engagement and increased profitability.
