Description

There is a revolution going on in the world of accounting & control. Managers have begun to realize that most current accounting systems are not keeping up with the dramatic changes occurring in manufacturing. Just-in-time manufacturing & distribution processes, computer-aided design, & flexible manufacturing systems are now commonplace in the modern workplace, but antiquated accounting systems are unable to accurately monitor their operations, making them a liability for today's managers. In Measures for Manufacturing Excellence, leading academics from around the world describe how some of the most forward-thinking companies are using operations & accounting measures to win the battle for manufacturing excellence. Issues discussed include measuring organizational improvement, facilitating organizational learning, motivating product design improvements & evaluating production planning.
