I started Protean in 2007 to combine my managerial experience with TPM, Lean and Six Sigma. This resulted in many succesful improvement projects and many implementations of Continuous Improvement in major companies like Heineken, Bosch, Refresco, FrieslandCampina, Rabobank, Laurentius hospital, Hurks, AkzoNobel, DSM, etc. In my linkedin profile some of these projects and implementations are described.
