<p>David Smithstein has been the lead developer of The Lean Machine since the company was founded in 2001.</p>
<p><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 7.5pt;">The Lean Machine has been supporting the information management component of our customer's document, quality, and material management needs for over 13 years.&nbsp;&nbsp;As our clients discover opportunities&nbsp; for The Lean Machine to contribute to their continuous improvement efforts, our development team is capable of rapidly responding to those requests with flexible designs that don't compromise the user experience of our other customers.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 7.5pt;">This collaborative approach to both our customer's continuous improvement needs, as well as the continuous improvement of the software design itself, has proven very effective in establishing and maintaining long term customer relationships with the smaller manufactures who make up the majority of our customer base.</span></p>
