Explores Product Costing and Financial Accounting Contradictions; Discusses Options that Align with Lean Practices

ATLANTA -- Infor, one of the largest global providers of enterprise software, will show how companies can ensure their accounting practices support their lean initiatives

Today's manufacturing landscape is riddled with demand fluctuations, pricing and compliance pressures, and ever-extending supply chains. In an effort to improve efficiency in their manufacturing facilities, many companies have implemented Lean processes to achieve significant production performance gains. However, there is a largely unrecognized need to introduce revised costing and management accounting methods that provide a more realistic financial view of performance within a Lean context.

"Manufacturing operations and traditional cost accounting methods have different perspectives and agendas for measuring business performance," said Mike Frichol, Infor's vice president of global industry and product marketing. "This webinar will highlight how companies should align accounting practices with Lean production process improvement initiatives for more relevant financial business management across the organization."

      When:         February 28, 2007 from 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EDT
      Who:          Mike Frichol, CPIM, Vice President, Global
                    Industry & Product Marketing Infor

Frichol will discuss and provide pragmatic recommendations for improving Lean performance results by identifying product costing and financial accounting contradictions, and establishing alternate methods consistent with Lean principles.
