"John has consistently demonstrated his solid understanding of problem solving. I often commented that he was one of the few people that 'gets it.' I endorse his methodology as he seems to apply the appropriate tool at the correct stage in the problem solving process. Also, his communication of results and recommendations set the standard for the supplier he represented. Lastly, his integrity and commitment was a welcome change from his predecessors"

"I worked with John over an extended period of time on a supplier development program. I found his knowledge, drive and enthusiasm to be essential to the success of the supplier. The supplier was ultimately removed from the "Needs Improvement" list here at DaimlerChrysler and became eligible to bid on new business.

The Lean Manufacturing implementation plan John created and implemented for his division was successful and resulted in DaimlerChrysler realizing over $850,000 savings in the first year alone."
