“The LTAC class was one of, if not the best, classes that I have participated in. The structure was very well thought out and the simulations and hands-on experience coupled with the Socratic teaching method really made for an outstanding course. I have been on a soap box about the quality of the course and the lessons learned since my return to work.”
Ross Bailes – Manufacturing Manager – major U.S. defense contractor
“I have attended several Productivity workshops and most recently the one on Lean Tools. The event we are winding up has realized a 70% reduction in changeover time in the pack out area of our plant (73 minutes to 22 minutes). I utilized what I was taught in the course and have produced great results. Would like to say thank you to Productivity for great courses!”
Martin Tauber – Production/Maintenance Trainer – Advance Pierre Foods – Portland, ME
“This is the perfect program for individuals who want to take the first step at improving themselves and their companies.”
Chase Coslett – Senior Process Improvement Engineer – Mead Johnson Nutrition
“A very well taught and prepared program. It would be a wise investment for all to check out.”
John Akins – Maintenance Team Manager – Sun Products Corp.
“…From taking the LTAC program I was given the skills to come back and know exactly where to begin, how to implement, how to structure it, how to measure it, and where/when to take it to the next phase. I would highly recommend this course to anyone that´s currently using Lean but hasn´t fully implemented it or hasn´t been as successful with it as they would like or to anyone that´s considering introducing Lean but needs a better understanding of it.”
Richard Nichols – Production Services Manager – The Bradbury Company
“I came with questions about the value. What could I get here that wasn´t already in a book? I left with a great appreciation for the course and truly feel its value exceeds the cost of attending.”
Christopher Adams – Manufacturing Engineer – Gorbel Inc.
