There is a whole range of financial activity vital to the sector’s well being – from funding capital investment to the impacts of lean thinking on accounting systems and handling takeovers and buy-outs.
Among the keynote presentations at the next Manufacturing Leaders ‘Financing Manufacturing’ forum, Ross Maynard, author of ‘Successful Business Growth’ and Senior Consultant with the world’s leading lean accounting specialist, will explain how he works with manufacturers to establish lean accounting management systems that support the lean philosophy and help embed the lean culture. “At some point all organisations going through lean transformation need to adapt their measurement and finance systems to match the lean philosophy,” he says. “Lean accounting provides that management system.”
And Dr Richard Schoenberg, Senior Lecturer in Strategic Management at Cranfield School of Management, where he leads the MBA teaching on Managing International Mergers & Acquisitions, will look at how manufacturers can leverage maximum value from mergers and acquisitions.
“Corporate acquisitions raise many management challenges, as evidenced by data which reveal that approximately 50% of all such transactions ultimately destroy shareholder value,” he says.
This session will provide the latest thinking on both value creation and implementation issues like: What determines acquisition performance? How can value be leveraged from an acquisition? What are the organisational implications of different value creation logics? And how should you approach the post-acquisition phase to both preserve and create value?
The answer to these, and many other manufacturing finance questions will be found at the half day Manufacturing Leaders forum aimed at managing directors, finance directors and their teams.
