Operational Excellence at first hand — since 2007. We combine Quality Methods, Lean Six Sigma and a Quality Mindset culture into programmes that withstand audits and prove themselves in everyday operations. Our home: Hi-Tech — from semiconductors and microsystems technology through sensor technology to mechanical engineering and heavy industry.
Operational Excellence does not emerge from a single method but from the interplay of three layers: classical quality craftsmanship, the structured Six Sigma programme and a lived quality culture. We bring all three — and we know which layer your organisation should focus on right now.
Many organisations start at the Q layer with classical quality methods, build a Q+ Six Sigma programme on top, and ultimately develop a Q++ quality culture that sustains their methodological competence for the long term.
We meet you at every one of these stages — and plan the next step with you. You will find the detailed profiles of the three layers in the three cards below.
Classical quality methods as in-house training — tailored to your industry, your processes and your team.
Structured improvement programmes with clearly defined roles — from Yellow Belt to Master Black Belt.
Quality Mindset, Repertory Grid diagnostics and change campaigns — the strategic master discipline. Backed by our own diagnostic platform qmindset.de ↗.
We do not promise polished marketing effects. We build programmes that pay back, withstand audits and stay in everyday practice — long after the consulting phase has ended.
Typical programme investments amortise within a year.
What works in a business-unit pilot, our clients roll out internationally across all units.
Methods that convince top automotive customers of our clients' strengths during supplier audits.
Tools and mindset stay anchored in project documentation — years after our last engagement.

Diplom Engineer in Physical Engineering. Master Black Belt. TÜV-Süd certified trainer. Above all: someone who explains Six Sigma not from a textbook but from 24 years of semiconductor and methodological practice.
After five years at Mitsubishi Electric (semiconductors, working closely with Japanese colleagues) and a period at Micronas Freiburg in quality management, I have been self-employed since 2007. Together with an experienced network of Master Black Belts and subject-matter specialists, I support organisations from an in-house Belt programme through to a group-wide Quality Mindset roll-out.
I am simply impressed by the confidence with which Markus conveys complex methods — and the way he brings his semiconductor expertise to bear. He has helped us implement an improvement culture that works even in an agile organisation. All the way through to several automotive audits in which our top customers were convinced of our strengths.
Our learning brand esixsigma.de offers the eYellowBelt as a digital, self-paced format — plus the freely accessible Six Sigma Funpark for a playful introduction to the methods.
