To Whom It May Concern:

I am happy to recommend Unbeaten Path's "Commitment for Excellence" training program.

D.D. Bean & Sons, Co. has been a manufacturer of safety book matches since 1938. Although we have become more and more efficient throughout the years, we have operated, and continue to operate, with a somewhat informal system.

The two-day program conducted by Milt Habeck is packed with eye-opening information on how much more efficiently and cost effectively a manufacturing company can run with a formal system, namely, MRPII.

Almost as impressive as the information contained in this training session is the vast knowledge that Milt possesses and his artful way of passing the information along to his audience. Milt leaves no doubt of his belief in this system and his energy and enthusiasm are contagious.

I am confident that Milt's "Commitment for Excellence" program will be a valuable experience for management teams looking to dramatically improve their operating systems.

Sincerely,

D.D. Bean & Sons, Co.

Margaret E. Bean
Vice President - Finance
