RST Lean program reaches level 4

We are proud to announce that our first team member, planning supervisor Karel Voogt, has reached Lean level 4.

After an internal presentation of his Kaizens yesterday to management and colleagues Karel received his certificate from the hands of our CEO Arno Storm and the well-deserved cake from Transformation manager Gerard Koekkoek.

As outcome of the presented projects Karel has managed to make significant improvements to 4 of our most important processes saving both time and money for RST and our customers.

With his enthusiasm Karel has earned the attention of a large part of his team and colleagues but not only that.  What started off as a joke he is now the proud bearer of the nickname Karellean within the whole RST organisation.

We hereby congratulate Karel with his certification and wish him succes taking the needed steps towards Lean Level 5.

Every child deserves a chance at a bright future

“Every child deserves a chance at a bright future”
Partnership RST and Giovanni van Bronckhorst Foundation

Empowering children who lack opportunities so they can become ‘leaders of their own futures’. That is what the Giovanni van Bronckhorst Foundation (GvBF) is all about, and it is the main reason why RST has become a ‘friend’ of this foundation. In this article, Jacqueline Jonkhart (GvBF) and Jeroen Hooft (RST) share their views. “We want to build a sustainable relationship and provide a safety net of companies where they are welcome.”

It all started with Feyenoord legend Giovanni van Bronckhorst. Jacqueline explains: “GvBF was created to address the lack of opportunities for many children in Rotterdam. Giovanni, who experienced limited resources as a little boy, understands the importance of support and opportunities like no one else. He has always remained aware that it was not just his amazing talent, but also the people around him who provided him with the opportunity to build a bright future. So, for him and his wife, it was a no-brainer that every child deserves such a chance, and society must support these children. That is why they founded GvBF in 2012. The foundation helps children develop their potential and gain essential skills and confidence to achieve their goals.”
