What people are saying about StrongStar-Simplified


“We used StrongStar-Simplified to help train our workforce about Lean/Six Sigma tools and techniques, and how to use them every day to make improvements to our processes. Pete and Dennis did an excellent job of understanding what we wanted to accomplish and then tailoring the training process to help us achieve our goals. They not only trained our teams, but were there with them every step along the way to provide support for each of the projects that were being worked on. The results were fantastic and far outweighed the cost and time spent preparing our teams to be successful. I would highly recommend them to drive improvements to any business.” –Food Industry OpEx Director


“I’ve gotten excellent feedback from [my two employees who took the Live Solution Black Belt class] regarding the value of the training and how well it was delivered. My experience has been excellent, specifically the flexibility and collaborative approach StrongStar-Simplified takes in adapting how we either test or determine projects. This is super important to make it meaningful to the practitioners and the organization/customers they support.” –Medical Equipment Manufacturer, Director of Manufacturing Technology


“I had a very positive experience with the StrongStar-Simplified [Live Solution OpEx Black Belt] program. I think it would have been better in person, but we were stuck with the whole COVID issue plus our organizational responsibilities and had to spread the courses over a much longer period. I would tell prospective students to expect engaging teaching and interactive learning via guided exercises, which helps build knowledge and skills in the use of Six Sigma and Minitab tools. I feel as though I can now speak with authority on Six Sigma topics (specifically around MSAs and hypothesis tools), which has already been beneficial in my day-to-day work.” –SSL Live Solution OpEx Black Belt student at a Medical Equipment Manufacturer


“My experience working with Pete Robustelli and The StrongStar–Simplified Team has been very rewarding. Pete is a master at teaching and sharing his knowledge with his students as we move through the Lean Six Sigma process. I have had the benefit of working with Pete and The StrongStar–Simplified Team over the last 18 months on a couple of projects and I would highly recommend them. My initial experience was being a member of a team that Pete led that was the initial transformational project within our organization. Subsequently, I have worked with Pete to obtain my Lean Six Sigma Green Belt as I worked on a very complex process.” -Sr. Director, Information Technology at a Healthcare Organization


“I just wanted to email both of you, Mr. Robustelli and Mr. Monroe, and say thank you. Thanks for coming to [our facility] and opening our eyes to the benefits of using lean principles in our jobs and in our daily lives. My group and I definitely appreciated the many review sessions that you set aside for us to help nudge us in the right direction and provide us with more ideas. The knowledge you have passed along to us is truly invaluable. I’m happy to have had the opportunity of working with and learning from both of you.” -Food Industry Product Quality Supervisor
