Finance, as a key function in any organization, must be able to answer critical questions:
- what is the company\\\'s performance?
- do we invest in equipment and machinery?
- should we make or buy?
- should we use profit centers or cost centers?
- what is the profit of a product/service?
Reality and research have shown that cost-accounting based decisions and using local measurements can be devastating to the performance on the shop floor, marketing, sales, engineering, purchasing and even distribution.
In this session Dr. Goldratt will show how financial decisions should be based on the system as a whole and not according to their local impact. A clear but simple set of metrics can bridge the gap between the bottom line and the local actions to deliver the best results.
Your organization will learn the significant impact of using Throughput Accounting - the Theory of Constraints (TOC) solution for Finance and Measurements to focus on simple indicators.
Includes a Q&A segment.
