F.S. Buchman Director of Continuous Improvement - ComauPico
Fiat S.p.A. "We are very pleased with the results from the four waves that PSI has trained in Integrated Lean and Six
Sigma. When looking at the alternatives, PSI was the only one that satisfied our requirement for a truly integrated approach,
matching the needs of our existing systems and processes with the Integrated Lean and Six Sigma methods and tools. Designing
the content so that we had a Kaizen Event between weeks Two and Three of our training gave us the kick-start we needed and
it energized the entire organization. The $7 Million collected on the Receivables Project and achieving a return-on-investment
even before our first wave completed their training was more than impressive! We are sustaining the gains already made and
we are well on our way to deploying Integrated Lean and Six Sigma throughout the organization. You made our learning and
application fun, easy and very worthwhile. I was particularly pleased with the way in which you were able to relate the training
to all of the employee levels and backgrounds within our company. Thanks for all of your hard work. We couldn't be happier!"

Director TQM - ITT Canon Worldwide, Freiberg, Germany "The Training and Experiential Exercises you
provided for our Executive Team in Long Beach were right on target. Your ability to tie the training and exercises to our
world was outstanding!"
William Lareau Lean Consultant and Author (Office Kaizen, Lean Leadership, American Samurai, Conduct Expected) "Chuck worked with me for about
three years on a variety of culture change, process improvement, and employee involvement projects. At the time, we had taken
over the day-to-day operations of a $500 Million, 3,200 employee operation. The program was in deep trouble and it was only
through the efforts of Chuck and a select few like him that we were able to turn the program around. In the course of these
activities, he demonstrated exceptional skills and insights in the use of statistical process control, team leadership, and
problem solving tools. Chuck is an insightful, hard working individual who easily relates to and works with all employee
groups and viewpoints. He is an astute problem solver who can quickly identify key issues and focus his team mates' energies
on the likely root causes. He works at a high level of intensity, letting little get in his way. At the same time, he is
acutely sensitive to the feelings of the people he is working with (and for) and has always made an extraordinary effort to
encourage and support the participation of all of the people related to his improvement efforts. Chuck is a mature, hard
working individual of the highest integrity. He is quickly able to win over a group's trust and commitment to work with him."
Michael
C. Keel Executive Vice President - General Dynamics, Missiles and Electronics Group "Chuck, thank you for your support

audience is any indicator, it appears that the symposium was a great success."

meaning to 'Customer Satisfaction.'"
