Management accounting is vital to long-term planning. However, in today's climate of rapid technological change, vigorous global & domestic competition, & the enormous expansion of information-processing capabilities, current management accounting systems are inadequate & outdated. In Relevance Lost, H. Thomas Johnson & Robert S. Kaplan, both professors of management accounting, combine their unique perspectives to describe the evolution of management accounting, combine their unique perspectives to describe the evolution of management accounting in American business, from the early textile mills to present-day computer-automated manufacturers. As they say, "understanding the reasons behind the obsolescence of existing systems should provide improved rationale for organizational change." Johnson & Kaplan argue that the use of outdated accounting methods may have helped undermine American manufacturers' efforts to adapt to the rapidly changing competitive environment of the 1980s. When management accounting systems report highly inaccurate product costs & provide misleading targets for productivity & efficiency efforts, America's large decentralized corporations become vulnerable to smaller, more focused competitors. Ineffective management accounting systems can prevent companies from achieving gains through vertical integration & diversification. Today new management accounting developments taking place in leading American manufacturing firms show promise of reversing this trend. Relevance Lost cites numerous cases of forward-looking companies that are accomplishing just that. Johnson & Kaplan masterfully & persuasively illustrate the need for modern corporations to reexamine their existing practices & to redesign new management accounting systems. Tomorrow's leaders will be those companies who have the foresight to lead management accounting back to the path of relevance from which it strayed over sixty years ago.

Building on his pathbreaking, award-winning bestseller, Relevance Lost, H. Thomas Johnson presents a devastating critique of the top-down hierarchical accounting systems that have dominated American corporations since the 1950s. In Relevance Regained, Johnson shows exactly how "managing by remote control" through results-oriented accounting information has obstructed the real business objective: to reduce process variation and lead times for the purpose of obtaining and keeping satisfied customers. The failure of most American businesses to be competitive and profitable, he contends, is their reliance on management accounting information to control people's actions and productivity. Cost-focused imperatives from on high must be replaced, Johnson asserts, with information systems that link actions with imperatives of global competition. Self-managing work teams, according to Johnson, must own problem-solving information to reduce variation, delays, and excess in processes. Johnson prescribes the necessary changes in management principles that must replace the outdated style associated with the industrial revolution. Responsiveness to customers—not accounting costs—and flexibility—reducing lead times and removing constraints—are necessary for sustained competitive excellence and long-term profitability. Johnson discusses the radical overhauls of companies, such as General Electric's work-outs/"best practices" program and Harley-Davidson's work simplification programs, and shows how these strong commitments to new strategies maximize a company's most important assets: people and time. To be globally competitive, he claims, a company's work must be directed toward selling to customers, not just selling products.

Waste has plagued almost every industrial-age firm for the past century. In this powerfully argued alternative to conventional cost management thinking, experts H. Thomas Johnson and Anders Bröms assert that any company can avoid the waste that is generated through excessive operating costs in the short run and excessive losses from market instability in the long run. To gain more secure levels of profitability, management must simply change how it thinks about work and how it organizes work. Profit Beyond Measure details how two extremely profitable manufacturers, Toyota and the Swedish truck maker Scania, have rejected the traditional mechanistic mindset of managing by results that generates waste. Johnson and Bröms explain how Toyota and Scania achieve their legendary cost advantage through a revolutionary concept they call managing by means (MBM). Instead of being driven to meet preconceived accounting targets, the production systems of Toyota and Scania are governed by the three precepts that guide all living systems: self-organization, interdependence, and diversity. Amid a wealth of new insights into Toyota's vaunted system, Johnson and Bröms introduce the tools of MBM to show how design, production, and profitability analysis are done to customer order. They demonstrate that by following the principles that emulate life systems, even a lean and profitable company can organize work to greatly lessen its long-term earnings instability and sharply reduce its short-run operating costs. Scania has achieved sixty-five years of financial stability and longevity in the face of fierce competition. Toyota has amassed a market value since 1988 that has rivaled -- or sometimes surpassed -- the American "Big Three" automakers combined. The principles that Johnson and Bröms set forth in Profit Beyond Measure can guarantee the same richer, longer life to any company that applies them.
