Subject: Arns Letter of Recommendation
To Whom it may Concern,
Mr. Anthony Arns is an outstanding leader that possesses genuine world class Manufacturing
experience, exceptional leadership skills, passion for continuous improvement, and an ability to
make things happen.
He is a true promoter of optimization and is the business’ quality champion responsible for Lean
Manufacturing strategy development and deployment in a large international multi-plant setting.
Mr. Arns quickly grasped business unit direction linking it to the current state of each
international plant. He collaborated with plant management to identify key opportunities and
then by utilizing his excellent planning, implementation of lean/poka-yoke, and leadership skills
to drive plans and changes which resulted in significant performance improvement, achieving a
consistent 99.99 in quality.
In addition, Mr. Arns is a strong advocate of mentoring and coaching his subordinates to pursue
excellence as well as take on more responsibilities. He strongly believes the success of an
organization depends on the success of its people. He has consistently provided many
professional and personal development training opportunities for his team along with the
motivation required to ensure application and sustainable success. There is no doubt that his
influence will have a lasting significant impact on those who serve alongside and under his
leadership.
The quality and thoroughness of Mr. Arns work and leadership is second to none. With that said,
I have absolutely no reservations in highly recommending Mr. Arns for an executive leadership
position at any organization that desires to bypass the cross-cultural learning curve of going
Global, and/or any organization that is serious about taking their operations to the next level of
productivity and quality in both product and people.
