■ Background of the Project

Amidst continuous increases in raw material costs and labor expenses, many small and medium-sized manufacturers are struggling with situations where price pass-through cannot keep up, leading to "increased sales but no profit remaining."

The solution is not large-scale capital investment or special know-how, but rather the habit of accurately reading one's own numbers and utilizing them for decision-making. The accumulation of these habits leads to a transformation into a profitable business structure.

This special feature has been edited to allow viewing of four seminar archive videos and special articles, which serve as a catalyst for this transformation, during spare time over Golden Week (GW).

■ Contents of the Special Feature

This special feature consists of four highly acclaimed archive videos from past seminars that served as an entry point for management improvement, along with special articles that systematically explain each theme.

① "Why isn't profit remaining?" Can you see the real cause in the numbers?
This addresses the structural problem of "sales are growing, but no money is left in hand" by focusing on value-added (contribution margin) in management accounting. It includes an introduction to the management simulation game "Strategic MG Management Game®"*, which allows participants to virtually experience the connection between management and numbers, offering practical content.
*"Strategic MG Management Game" is a registered trademark owned by Strategic MG Research Institute Co., Ltd.

② Introduction to "Management Accounting" practiced by profitable small and medium-sized manufacturers
This explains how to grasp one's current position using three indicators: contribution margin (the source of profit after deducting variable costs from sales), break-even point ratio, and labor's share of value added, and how to create a management plan "reverse-calculated from profit." Recommended for those who want to break away from the convention of "○% increase over the previous year."

③ "Visualizing Management" that presidents should convey to employees ~A common language connecting management figures and on-site goals~
This explains how to translate management figures into on-site action language and build a system to motivate the organization. This content addresses the challenge of "even if numbers are shared, the on-site team doesn't move."

④ How to Create Management KPIs to "Draw the Future of Your Company" with Numbers
This systematically explains the design, operation, and improvement cycle of management KPIs tailored to one's own company. This content is for those who want to utilize production management system data for management decisions and escape from "haphazard" decision-making.

【Recommended for managers facing these challenges】

- Sales are increasing, but profit is not remaining in hand
- Want to increase employee salaries but can't judge how much to increase
- Want to set management goals based on reasons other than "○% over the previous year"
- Even if numbers are shared with employees, on-site actions do not change
- Interested in management accounting and KPI design but don't know where to start
