Training programs our founder has developed and delivered led to:

• a robotic assembly/test system installed and put into production with
  no input from the design engineer / project manager,
• a support team so comfortable with an engine dress line that they relocated 13 stations over a weekend and were ready to resume production on Monday morning - with no support from the OEM
   

Our founder was required to attend a “Train The Trainer” program before developing his first training program for GM in 1987.  He has also developed and delivered operator & maintenance training programs for AMF-Potter & Brumfield, General Motors, Siemens-VDO, Giddings & Lewis, & Caterpillar.  He also teaches nontechnical classes on a regular basis.

In addition to developing creative solutions to engineering problems over the length of his career, our founder has studied problem-solving techniques both formally and informally.  In addition to his engineering training, he has attended classes on logic theory, TRIZ methodolgy (TRIZ = “The theory of inventor's problem-solving”), quantitative analysis, and decision-making methods.
