One of them is “R.” \nThe “R Universe” offers tremendous diversity\, but it has the same learning curve as any programming language.\n\nIn this workshop\, we will set up the RStudio programming environment together and perform our first simple data analyses as a group. \nTo participate\, please download R and then RStudio (for free\, e.g.\, here: https://posit.co/download/rstudio-desktop/ )\, install them\, and join the Zoom session using this computer. \nSpeaker: Dr. Thomas Rietdorf \n_________________________________________________________________________ \n \n  \n  \nYou can find more interesting events related to quality management in the QZ-online.de calendar at\n__________________________________________________________________________ URL:https://www.sixsigmaclub.de/en/event/getting-started-with-r/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Online lecture ORGANIZER;CN="European Six Sigma Club Germany e.V.":MAILTO:buero@sixsigmaclub.de END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20260126T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20260126T120000 DTSTAMP:20251119T073235Z CREATED:20251119T073235Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251119T073235Z UID:90279-1769421600-1769428800@www.sixsigmaclub.de SUMMARY:"Design of Experiments (DoE) – Think Clearly\, Test Wisely\, Make Better Decisions" DESCRIPTION:📅 Experience DoE —entertaining\, easy to understand\, and practical. \nWhy does it often not work out\, even though we’ve “tested everything”? Perhaps because we haven’t asked the right questions yet—or haven’t been systematic enough. This is exactly where Design of Experiments (DoE) comes in. \nIn this interactive session\, Stefan Moser\, an experienced DFSS and DoE trainer\, will show you how to analyze complex processes and products with ease and in a systematic way. Instead of getting lost in the maze of individual influencing factors\, you’ll learn how to use DoE to identify the decisive factors—quickly\, clearly\, and with visually striking results. \n  \nWho is this session intended for?\nAnyone who wants to learn more about their processes—whether they work in a lab\, R&D\, production\, or quality assurance. You don’t need any background in statistics—just curiosity and a desire to explore new perspectives. \n \nWhat exactly can you expect?\n✅ An engaging\, clearly structured introduction to the world of experimental design\n✅ Practical examples—from popcorn to polymer gel\n✅ Insights on how to learn more about your system with just a few experiments\n✅ How to use DoE to ask the right questions\, identify the right factors—and make better decisions \n  \nBy the end of the session\, you’ll know:\n🔹 What DoE is (and what it isn’t)\n🔹 Where its strengths and limitations lie\n🔹 And how you can use it effectively to address your challenges \n \nWant to spend 90 minutes that are well worth it?\nThen let yourself be inspired\, captivated—and provoked to think. This won’t be a statistics lecture\, but a journey of discovery. \n🧪 Design of Experiments – A Systematic Path to the “Aha!” Moment. \n_________________________________________________________________________ \n \n  \n  \nYou can find other interesting dates relating to quality management in the QZ-online.de diary\n__________________________________________________________________________ URL:https://www.sixsigmaclub.de/en/event/design-of-experiments-doe-think-clearly-test-wisely-make-better-decisions/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Online lecture ORGANIZER;CN="European Six Sigma Club Germany e.V.":MAILTO:buero@sixsigmaclub.de END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260128 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260129 DTSTAMP:20260813T075946Z CREATED:20250527T151512Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260813T075946Z UID:89054-1769558400-1769644799@www.sixsigmaclub.de SUMMARY:Module 1: Statistics & Data Analysis in Practice DESCRIPTION:This module offers a sound introduction to the world of quality statistics.

V. as part of our online presentation series. \nSustainable process optimization begins with a reliable data foundation. However\, especially when it comes to manual and complex workflows\, it is often difficult to objectively assess processes and identify opportunities for improvement. \nDigital time studies offer new possibilities in this area. They make it possible to systematically analyze workflows\, quantify times and activities\, and derive specific optimization measures based on this data. In this online presentation\, Sascha Feldhorst from MotionMiners GmbH will demonstrate how digital time studies can be used to make processes transparent and identify opportunities for optimization based on data. \nAmong other things\, this involves the following questions: \n\nHow can manual work processes be digitally captured and analyzed?\nWhat insights do digital time studies provide for process optimization?\nHow can opportunities for improvement be objectively assessed?\nHow can process data be used to create a solid foundation for sustainable improvements?\n\nThe presentation provides practical insights into the possibilities of digital time studies and demonstrates how modern technologies can complement and further develop traditional methods of process analysis. \nSpeaker: Sascha Feldhorst (COO & Co-Founder)\, MotionMiners GmbH\, 44227 Dortmund \n_________________________________________________________________________________ \n \n  \n  \nYou can find more interesting events related to quality management in the QZ-online.de calendar at\n_________________________________________________________________________________ URL:https://www.sixsigmaclub.de/en/event/measurability-drives-improvement-digital-time-studies-as-the-foundation-for-sustainable-process-optimization/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Online lecture ORGANIZER;CN="European Six Sigma Club Germany e.V.":MAILTO:buero@sixsigmaclub.de END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20261023T133000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20261023T143000 DTSTAMP:20260901T055606Z CREATED:20260720T074547Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260901T055606Z UID:90311-1792762200-1792765800@www.sixsigmaclub.de SUMMARY:Zero Defect AI: Why Six Sigma Is Replacing Prompt Engineering DESCRIPTION:Free online presentation by the European Six Sigma Club Deutschland e. V. as part of our online presentation series. \nTopic on October 23\, 2026: Zero Defect AI: Why Six Sigma Replaces Prompt Engineering\nFor years\, the tech industry has relied on prompt engineering to coax probabilistic language models into providing correct answers. From an engineering perspective\, this approach is fundamentally flawed: You cannot make a stochastic machine achieve deterministic reliability. While 95% accuracy might be acceptable for a casual chatbot\, it is totally unacceptable for critical business operations. \nThis keynote introduces a necessary paradigm shift: the end of prompt engineering and the rise of industrial AI pipelines. By treating AI as a production system and applying classic manufacturing techniques\, we can achieve true Six Sigma reliability (3.4 defects per million opportunities). \nWhat to Expect / Key Takeaways: \n\nThe Illusion of Prompting: Why Trying to Fix Systemic AI Flaws with “Better Words” Is an Engineering Dead End.\nAI as a Manufacturing Pipeline: How to Successfully Apply Six Sigma and Poka-Yoke Principles to Generative AI.\nArchitectural Quality Gates: Practical strategies for establishing rigid\, deterministic constraints around unpredictable stochastic models.\nThe New Quality Engineer: Why the Future of AI Orchestration Belongs to Quality Engineers\, Not Linguists.\n\nSpeaker: Dr. Aaron Hutler\, Bond Pulse GmbH\, 10707 Berlin\n_________________________________________________________________________________ \n \n  \n  \nYou can find more interesting events related to quality management in the QZ-online.de calendar at\n_________________________________________________________________________________ URL:https://www.sixsigmaclub.de/en/event/zero-defect-ai-why-six-sigma-is-replacing-prompt-engineering/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Online lecture ORGANIZER;CN="European Six Sigma Club Germany e.V.":MAILTO:buero@sixsigmaclub.de END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20261103T100000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/Berlin:20261103T100000 DTSTAMP:20260824T100021Z CREATED:20260310T183444Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260824T100021Z UID:90302-1793700000-1793700000@www.sixsigmaclub.de SUMMARY:ESSC Monthly Data Talk – November DESCRIPTION:The ESSC Monthly Data Talk is an open platform for association members interested in Six Sigma and statistics.
