Abstract
In the former chapters, we have learned how to boost productivity of transactional processes by implementing the Lean Office transformation. In this final chapter, we will enter a brief discourse linked to current lean office topics. We show exemplarily how to shorten timeline of the accounting closing process and how our Western mindset of accounting rules does not support Lean thinking.
