Experience
Over the past 10 years, I have conducted Six Sigma trainings, coachings and certifications at Phoenix Contact in Blomberg and further developed the global Six Sigma strategy. I have led DMAIC projects, coached Green Belts and created Power BI dashboards. I also performed problem solving and statistical analysis, automated SAP workflows and optimized data structures. Before that, I carried out weak point analyses on cash recycling systems at Wincor Nixdorf in Paderborn and managed process and quality improvement projects.
Motivation as a workshop leader
Through my many years of experience at Phönix Contact and Wincor Nixdorf, I have experienced the transformative power of Six Sigma methods. Conducting trainings and coaching Green Belts and Black Belts has shown me the importance of sharing knowledge and promoting continuous improvement. My passion for process optimization and quality management motivates me to deliver training and help others improve their processes and achieve measurable success.

– Minitab Certified Trainer (>20 years)
– Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt (since 2018)
Company
BNB Qualitätsstatistik und Training has been a reliable partner for data-driven excellence since 2017. With a strong network of experienced experts, BNB supports companies across all industries in making quality measurable, optimizing processes and achieving sustainable results. Whether statistical methods, Six Sigma, DoE or customized training – BNB delivers practical solutions with vision.
Experience
Over 25 years of experience in development, statistics and quality management. As a Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt, data scientist and trainer, I have been supporting cross-industry customer projects in the automotive, electronics, semiconductor and pharmaceutical industries since 2000. Until 2016, I worked as a product manager for the Minitab® statistics software. I have been a member of the board of the European Six Sigma Club Germany (ESSC-D) since 2020 and regularly share my expertise in training courses, workshops and specialist presentations.
Motivation as a workshop leader
I am motivated by getting people excited about statistics, quality methods and data-based decisions – especially when initial skepticism turns into genuine curiosity and ultimately success. I love conveying even complex content in an understandable and practical way, developing solutions together with the participants and making it directly tangible how much potential there is in their own data. For me, every workshop is an opportunity to share knowledge in all directions, to network ideas and to create an atmosphere in which learning is fun with humor and energy.

Daniel Fügner
Certifications
Dipl.-Phys., Minitab Certified Trainer, Six Sigma Master Black Belt, Lean Master
Company
Daniel Fügner has been working at ADDITIVE GmbH since 2011, where he supports a large number of customers across all industries with regard to software and training, specializing in the Minitab LLC. product family, one of the leading software manufacturers in quality management.
Experience
As a Minitab trainer, he is familiar with all areas of quality statistics. He particularly enjoys individual workshops with customers’ own data. However, he is also available for project support or contract analyses. The range of topics regularly extends to data mining. In individual cases, he supplements lectures at various universities.
Motivation as a workshop leader
In a training course, it is important to get the participants on board and make them understand that the tools and techniques taught are of great benefit to them, their work and their entire company and will bring about an improvement in quality. It’s about motivating the participants to use the techniques and making them confident in their application. For me, the big picture is more important than the last detail, which is why group discussions are so important. In the end, the knowledge gained forms the basis for new ideas that the participants can implement in their day-to-day work.

– Physicist, Dr. rer. nat.
– 10 years of training experience Lean Six Sigma GB, BB, MBB
– Introduction of Lean Six Sigma in semiconductors, shipbuilding, logistics, pharmaceuticals, banking
Company
exceedium GmbH
Experience
I have been supporting companies with the introduction and sustainable anchoring of Lean Six Sigma for almost 20 years. As a certified Master Black Belt, I shape change in a practical and effective way. My training and implementation projects range from the semiconductor industry, shipbuilding and logistics to pharmaceuticals and banks – in medium-sized companies, corporations and private equity-led organizations, in German, English and French-speaking countries. It is particularly important to me to tailor each Lean Six Sigma program specifically to the respective company and to lead teams to sustainable success.
Motivation as a workshop leader
I am convinced that Lean Six Sigma is a key building block for sustainable corporate success, especially in challenging times. However, it is not the method alone that is decisive – but how it is embedded in your own environment. This workshop invites you to look at your own improvement program with distance and clarity, to compare proven success factors with your own practice and to focus on the points that can make the biggest difference in your own company.

Thomas Freudemann
Qualifications
-Degree in chemistry and business chemistry, doctorate in chemistry
-Lean Six Sigma Black Belt
-Multiple years of experience as a trainer for transformations and IT rollouts
-Continuing training as a systemic coach
-Project Management Professional (PMP)
-Manager of Quality/Organizational Excellence ASQ
-Continuing training in data science/data management/digitalization
Experience
In more than 20 years as an operational line manager, project manager, OpEx manager, employed and freelance consultant in the areas of quality management, operational excellence (Lean Six Sigma), digitalization and operational project management (e.g. IT/OT analysis; IT system rollouts), I have acquired extensive knowledge and experience in various OpEx concepts, methods and systems. My industry focus has always been in the life science sector – in this strictly regulated industry, extreme care and control in the preparation and implementation of improvement is essential.
Motivation as a workshop leader
I enjoy training – and would like to pass on some of my wealth of experience in the OpEx field as a trainer. As a trainer, it is also important to me to provide information about new forms of collaboration in organizations (New Work – 100% Empowerment) – a lot can be learned from these approaches about transformation and better decision-making, even in traditional structures. The view of OpEx is often very focused on the tools and methodology and essential elements of an OpEx organization such as leadership, culture and mindset are sometimes given too little attention. I would like to broaden and complement this perspective.
