Our mid-managers are working with and designing value streams to help with our space and capacity expansion, and our Kata efforts are expanding pretty organically. We owe you great “thanks” for that. It’s remarkable seeing how it moves things forward.”

Bill Church , President, Green Mountain Antibodies

I wanted to let you know that we had another successful ISO audit this year.  The auditor made special mention of the Strategy A3 and the A3 process for problem solving and resolution as strong evidence of continuous improvement, management engagement, and risk management.  Thank you again for the work you have done with us over the last couple of years.

Jeffrey Paquet , CEO, Mobile Medical International Corporation
