About Kai

I help companies to sustainably reduce error costs in production. By unlocking unused potential in measurement processes, parts manufacturing, and assembly.

You will receive hands-on support. Through active participation on-site as well as remotely. As well as through consulting, training, and coaching.

As a Six Sigma Black Belt, my focus is on error and root cause analysis. As well as subsequent process optimization. For this, I bring the following competencies to the team, among others:
- Highly developed analytical thinking (according to customers and various tests).
- Structured way of working.
- 20 years of experience in optimizing
- Measurement processes with 15 measurement system groups (e.g., CMM, CT, test automation, etc.)
- Manufacturing (e.g., injection molding, metal processing, manual / automatic assembly)
- Extensive and up-to-date knowledge of methods related to quality improvement.
- Comprehensive statistical knowledge including Q-DAS statistical software (solara.MP, qs-STAT, vidara).
- Broad expertise and documentation on technical DIN / ISO standards with a focus on measurement systems, GPS (Geometrical Product Specification), quality, and statistics.

The specialization in improving measurement processes evolved from many years of practical experience. This is because the uncertainties arising from measurement systems and measurement processes are often underestimated and disturbances are overlooked. Experience shows that there is enormous optimization potential here. And sometimes also the main cause for the deviations that occurred in manufacturing.
