Lean Accounting

Lean accounting is the general term used for the changes required to a company's accounting, control, measurement, and management processes to support lean manufacturing and lean thinking.

Most companies embarking on lean manufacturing soon find that their accounting processes and management methods are at odds with the lean changes they are making.  The reason for this is that traditional accounting and management methods were designed to support traditional manufacturing; they are based upon mass production thinking.  Lean manufacturing breaks the rules of mass production, and so the traditional accounting and management methods are unsuitable and usually actively hostile to the lean changes the company is making.
