Practice-Oriented Quality and Process Optimization with Lean, Six Sigma, and Digital Methods – Theory Meets Real Results.
I stand for practice-oriented quality and process optimization that closely links theory and application. My focus is on Lean Management, Six Sigma, and digital methods that empower both students and companies to efficiently tackle real-world challenges. In teaching, research, and supervision, I emphasize clear structures, methodological rigor, and transparent analyses to achieve results that are both scientifically sound and immediately applicable. With many years of experience in industry projects and practice-oriented research, I combine academic expertise with genuine added value for practical implementation.
Industry Practice Overview: • Ensuring competitiveness with approximately 20% cost reduction. • Process optimization, efficiency enhancement, and acceleration of business operations. • Coaching, training, and interdisciplinary project management as a Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt. • Rapid achievement of corporate goals such as cost reduction, revenue, and profit increase. • Total Cost / CAPEX / OPEX considerations. • Around 15 years of worldwide technical and commercial project experience. • Highly experienced in internationally operating matrix organizations. • Business fluent in English.
