About this Presentation
This workshop is a further development of work done by Ravi Gilani. I have created and added diagrams to show the flows and pools of money inherent to any company, for the non-accounting business person. These diagrams make the financial operation of any business visual. Metrics drive implementation by guiding employees to work together in ways that cross barriers between silos and unleash the creativity of the workforce to seek the company's goal of making more and more money over time. Since a small fraction (less than 1%) of companies continually increase their earnings, it must be the case that current metrics are ill suited for guiding employees. Case studies will be provided as examples before participants actually create their own dashboards for use in their own company or any target company. These dashboards focus employee creativity on one piece of paper. An outline will be provided to educate the employees and entice them into making a difference in the company.

Instructor(s)
Henry Fitzhugh Camp
Henry F. Camp - After earning a BA in Mathematics at the University ofVirginia, Camp taught for several years before joining Shippers Solutions, where he designed and programmed his own ERP system to improve the company’s operational effectiveness. After five years, he bought the
company and still owns it, having grown sales tenfold. www.ssco.pro A $4 billion customer implored Henry to manage their $70 million raw material inventories in 4 different countries. New software was created and deployed. Within months, five warehouses in four countries all demonstrated 6σ inventory accuracy. More importantly, the client’s shortages disappeared, which had previously delayed a third of planned production schedules. Added benefit: inventory needed dropped 70%.This spin off became IDEA, LLC, of which Mr. Camp owned the majority,
until it was sold in 2022.
IDEA expanded scope, delivering supply chain consulting using replenishment software based on constraints theory. In the early 2000’s, Henry formed a personal relationship with Eli Goldratt author of The Goal. A major client was adidas, who used IDEA’s Elucidate software to double their same-store sales without increased inventory or expense. He collaborated with Bahadir Inozu at Turkish Technic, Turkish Airline’s internal MRO group. Camp gained recognition as a worldwide authority in supply chains.
Henry shifted to buying companies instead of consulting. He raised money in the early 2010s to establish TOC Equity Partners which acquired and substantially improved three companies, using TOC and his operational expertise. These acquisitions have either been sold or are being positioned for sale at dramatic profits. With constraints theory experts Eli Schragenheim and Rocco Surace, he published his second book in 2019 titled Throughput Economics. The book expands TOC Throughput Accounting, showing how to apply a simple holistic approach in many different business cases. Throughput Economics helps companies improve quickly and significantly. As its ideas are more broadly adopted, future difficult economic shifts will be made easier, enhancing the world economy. He is currently the Manager of The Aviation Protection Group, which will support commercial airlines, as passenger traffic returns to normal, post-coronavirus pandemic.
