Tiivistelmä
The thesis is a research on an effective accounting system for a small Nordic IT company with the application of Lean Philosophy.
Lean theories from Lean Manufacturing, Lean Thinking of Lean Enterprise to Lean Accounting are covered to deliver an in-depth understanding of Lean Philosophies which serve as a strong theoretical background for the research.
The research consists of the application of various Lean methodologies ranging from Value Stream Mapping, and Waste Analysis to Process Capacity Study in order to identify problems faced by the case company. The aim is, then to suggest a strategy to eliminate those problems by addressing the roots underlying and finally provide Lean improvement actions such as Work Standard, Mistake Proofing, Autonomation and Automation as well as the integration of supporting systems to tackle those roots and streamline the whole process across the entire organization.
The final result of the research is about the future of the accounting process with more automated processes substituting manual work, shorter processing times, reduced waiting time leading to a shorter cycle time of the whole process as well as all 100% completion rate and zero defect accuracy.
Continuous improvements and training have to be maintained in order to ensure the success of the implementation of the future system.
