Riaan’s Passion for Transformation is Truly Inspiring!
I met Riaan on a learning mission to Japan to study the Toyota Production System via the Honsha consulting group. I found Riaan to be a gregarious leader who was the perfect fit to lead a culture transformation. He has a deep understanding the philosophy and the tools of TPS. He has the passion for continuous improvement, but best of all he has the personality to provide confidence and a sense of humor to lead people to want to transform. Everyone enjoys being around Riaan.

A passionate Lean professional who drives manufacturing efficiency, quality, and cost improvement.
I was lucky enough to work in a Brewery with Riaan - That's two bonuses! Riaan learned the brewing process far quicker than his peers due to his passion for beer, but more importantly his drive to understand where optimization opportunities were - these included loss elimination, throughput improvement by improved process engineering and quality first time right saving time, cost and energy. Clearly this was just the start to his passion of Lean Manufacturing and his Black Belt wisdom. I would certainly recommend Riaan to any manufacturing company that is looking to run leaner, improve margin and make higher quality products.
