One of the main principles of Lean is the notion of "Just in Time", which can be summed up as follows: "Accelerate flows to reduce lead times by improving cooperation through the just-in-time system".
Time is therefore at the heart of the continuous improvement process, not least because it is the only incompressible and immutable value. You can always have more money, individually or collectively. Time, on the other hand, does not multiply. To deal with this need, we speak of optimization, and Lean attaches this optimization to reducing lead times. In production, the application of this method has proved its worth. In the world of IT development, derivatives have also proven the value of this method.
To reduce lead times, there are human organizations, processes and tools. Robotization applies well to the industrial model. But what about business management, especially corporate finance and accounting?
New SaaS ERP solutions, such as Kafinéa, apply the Kaisen principle of improvement in every day-to-day gesture, to reduce lead times. Their ability to provide all the elements needed to run a healthy business, all the time, everywhere and to all employees, in the shortest possible time, stands in stark contrast to the classic vision of implementing major transformation projects so dear to CIOs in years gone by.
Who said that the quest for time savings was reserved for large groups? That would be to ignore the reality that companies of all sizes are constantly on the lookout for time. In the service industry, every time saved on non-productive tasks is a direct opportunity for additional revenue. Kafinéa can help you save valuable time on accounting tasks. But also in many other administrative tasks. This promise is the cornerstone of a process of continuous improvement, and at Kafinéa, we're convinced that this progress should be accessible to everyone, small, large and medium-sized businesses alike.
Kafinéa's most cherished principle in the list of 10 Kaisen principles is the last one: "Opportunities for improvement are infinite". Using SaaS ERP software like Kafinéa means allowing yourself to discover that the opportunities for improving your management are infinite, and therefore multiplying your capacity to save time.
Kafinéa can help you in highly specialized areas such as supplier or inventory management. First and foremost, Kafinéa means clear gains in the management of your invoices and financial tracking. For example, Kafinea makes it easy to create processes for handling your invoices, automated and supervised in real time, from their issue to their integration into your accounts, while managing payment.
Going back to the first principle of Kaizen, don't hesitate to challenge the status quo and question current practices. Whatever the size of your organization, with Kafinea you can optimize your turnaround times tomorrow, so why wait?
