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 will learn the Theory of Constraints (TOC) concepts of Throughput, Inventory/Investment, Operating Expense, their corresponding derivatives and how to use Throughput Accounting for decision making.

Note: The TOC Self Learning Program(s) license provides for use & viewing exclusively for the one person who registers the material. The license does not allow for multiple persons to use or view the program(s). For multiple viewers please consider purchasing the GSP Series for unlimited viewing.
