His insights highlighted how companies must remain agile and proactive in managing uncertainties, especially after major organizational changes. It was a truly eye-opening discussion on navigating risks while ensuring supply chain resilience.

🎯 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 – 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐑𝐨𝐤 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐫 🎯

As part of the 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 course, the students had the opportunity to learn from Rok Stritar, an entrepreneur, advisor, and mentor to numerous companies in various stages of development, as well as the founder of Kibuba.

Rok introduced us to the 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐏𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐲, a simple yet comprehensive approach that helps improve processes, eliminate waste, shorten production times, and reduce overall costs. We explored why 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐧 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 is such a widely adopted philosophy in today’s competitive market.

The foundation of Lean Philosophy lies in five key principles:
✅ Define success and measure it.
✅ Processes exist to create value.
✅ Anything that does not create value is waste.
✅ The best processes minimize or eliminate waste.
✅ There is no perfect process—continuous improvement is essential.

This lecture was a great reminder that operational efficiency is not just about cutting costs, but about maximizing value and fostering continuous growth.

Thank you, Mr. Stritar!
