Real Numbers through Lean Accounting... The evolution of accounting in support of "lean" operations

Overview:
The business enterprise has evolved dramatically over the past 100 years. Many claim that traditional accounting practices have not evolved and no longer support modern operations. This has most clearly been demonstrated in manufacturing, where manufacturers have moved from batch processing to single-piece flow processing, a result of applying lean principles. Modern operations - and "lean" operations specifically - have now taken root in most industries. Healthcare, service, construction, government, and countless other industries successfully apply lean concepts to eliminate waste and get more from fewer resources.
