To whom it may concern:

It is a great honor for me to write about Mr. Mario Menna.Before I go any further, let me briefly explain about myself first.

I am Chris Jin of IL Jung Corporation, and am the Vice President of IL JUNG VINA CO., LTD. & the General Manager of Planning & Marketing of IL JUNG Corporation, the mother company of IL JUNG VINA CO., LTD.. Our company is producing packs for brands and major customers are adidas, Samsonite and Salomon.

It was January, 2005 that I first met Mario Menna as he, then, just got started the relationship with adidas for Lean consulting to the vendors of adidas. Having adidas lean consultant was not new for us at the time and to be honest, my expectations were not that high as the previous adidas consultants were not that “achieving” people. However, rigth after his first consulting(for one week period) was done, I realized this gentleman knew what he was doing.

Although there are a lot of things that I want to mention, but let me just pick three points up for you about Mario.

The first is, Mario’s understanding about lean which I believe, a combination of accumualted field experiences and classroom knowlege. Unlike other lean consultants I met, he showed his idea comfortably and effortlessly. Besides, he never stays in the classroom rather, he spends most of consulting time in the production area.

Mario is a “making results” guy. Whenever he comes to our comany for consulting, the first thing he does is listening to people from our company and visits the areas to finalize what to do over discussions during the consulting period(let’s not forget

there is email discussion before he comes to the company). Needless to say, he makes comments over what’s done and what’s not done with his own opinions and it would be a shock if the result is not good enough.

Mario is a people person. Not only me but from other people, no one showed any hard feeling for what Mario said and did. That’s because, I think, Mario puts himself always into other people’s shoes first. After his first consulting was done in Jauary 2005, our 12 lean team members said to me, “Chris, may we have him back?” Well... no surprise for that to me as for our lean tema members, Mario was the person said what’s meaningful and truthful for the lean activities.

With very limited time and space, above is what I can say to you about Mario. If you have any more questions and want to know more things, please send me and email to chrisjin@bagiljung.com or call me at +84 908 036 236.

Thank you for the time.

Best regards,Chris Jin
