| Summary |
This case describes a process improvement project that occurred in collaboration between the finance department at an Autoliv Inc. facility and a graduate cost accounting class. The graduate students were asked to use their understanding of lean concepts to help identify and eliminate waste in the AP reconciliation process at Autoliv. Students were assigned to small groups, and the group with the solution that best fit the customer needs was chosen by the Autoliv finance team. The new process was implemented at Autoliv by the student team leader. The case study duplicates this collaborative experience and provides a real-world example for using problem-solving skills, accounting knowledge, Excel experience, lean practices, and creative thinking to prepare a feasible, simple, and sustainable improved process. There is no right answer to the case study, but the process to come up with a solution can be used for many different types of applications |
