Seven steps gave us step-by-step guidance on how to practice lean manufacturing in our plant. Our biggest win from seven steps was understanding how to translate, tailor and apply lean principles to our particular situation.
Your attention to detail, ability to communicate effectively and desire to assist any way possible was breath of fresh air. The innovative ideas you comprise in your teachings are highly appreciable.
