Consultancy
Solving problems for businesses
Alongside his handyman work, René Uijttenboogaard is available as a freelance consultant for process optimisation, Lean projects and project management at SMEs and startups.
Background
Broadly deployable, quickly available
With a background in Industrial Engineering and Management (HBO) and years of experience as a production manager, work preparer and independent consultant, René Uijttenboogaard has built a track record in analysing, structuring and improving processes — in both manufacturing environments and office processes.
He previously contributed to a collaboration project with TNO researching the implementation of Augmented Reality systems in the social work environment, and has helped multiple organisations streamline their operations.
"I'm not a consultant who writes a report and leaves. I look for practical solutions that actually get implemented."
