Testimonials:

It was such a pleasure to participate in a couple of your sessions at APICS this week.  I really gained a lot from the Lean/Six Sigma Idea Exchange yesterday and would like to obtain the notes that were taken. I have been involved with Lean and rapid improvement events in the past couple of years with my company, Eastman Chemical Company in Kingsport,TN.  You provided very helpful information on both and I was very happy to join your sessions.”
-Patricia Meffe, Eastman Chemical Company 

“I wanted to send you a short note thanking you for your instruction during Villanova University’s Lean Six Sigma course last month.  I truly enjoyed the course, it’s content and your teachings and was highly motivated to use the training immediately. I wanted to thank you personally and let you know that Lean Six Sigma has given me a new direction!” 
- Dick Stone, A.W. Hastings & Co
 

"Ron engaged with my team in applying the lean concepts to solving an administrative process problem. Ron was instrumental in leading the team to map the value stream process and identify opportunities to reduce cycle times and non-value added activities. The result of the process improvements has been outstanding, and Ron left the team with a much deeper understanding of lean concepts.” 
- Jack H., – RadioShack Corporation 

I spoke with you briefly after your presentation at the APICS International Conference.  I really enjoyed your presentation, and it was very well put together.  I would like to share some of your key points with my management.  Thank you once again for an enlightening presentation.”,
-Jon P., 3M Center 

"Thank you very much for the presentation.  It really hits close to home.  It reminded me of a re-engineering initiative that we did several years ago. You re-affirmed what I thought that we had done right and, sadly, what we done wrong.”
-Steve W., Kinze Mfg.
