Robert helps companies successfully through their Lean Transformations. He uses different techniques, tools and training to implement in the right sequence on the right time. For more than 10 years Robert gained his experience implementing the Lean principles in various roles as consultant, trainer and line manager. He has been one of the first in the Netherlands to adapt the lean principles and transform from Manufacturing into Services in different areas as insurance, banking, government, energy and construction. On Robert’s journey by adding value to the product and eliminating waste, he found out that results go hand in hand with cultural aspects of the organisation. As a part of his experience he will emphasize measurable results will be accomplished if the mind can be convinced to serve the customer in the best way. Costs will be reduced when the customer satisfaction rises and less defects occur with faster delivery. The recipe for change and supply chain optimization is to improve current working practice rather than to adopt theoretical models and processes. He favours using visual tools to demonstrate progress and make people proud of their performance. Robert has a proven track list of well known customers. He is more than happy to meet you and ‘walk the Gemba’.Specialties: Certified Lean in consultancy and line managment
