- Information
- Silke Wieking-Treml studied chemical engineering at the FH Münster / Dept. Steinfurt and technical business administration in the 1990s after her training as a laboratory technician (Berlin). After her studies, she began her professional career in the automotive supplier industry and with various engineering service providers. In her first position, she set up an automotive testing laboratory and a QM system at an extrusion coater (NRW, Germany) and found that setting up new things in the greenfield, structuring and conceptualizing QMSs, CAQ software implementations, and other automotive projects became her passion. In this context, she consistently pursues her credo of continuously expanding and passing on knowledge. She has always implemented this on behalf of service providers at various OEMs and suppliers in Germany as well as in Russia, Mexico, Switzerland, Austria, and Hungary. The technical focuses of the last more than 20 years were design and process FMEA moderations (including E/E systems), CAQ system introductions, QM trainings, and QM method implementations. For more than 2 years, she has been leading projects in functional safety at a well-known OEM according to ISO 26262 via the BETRANDT Technikum GmbH as project manager and FuSi Work Product trainer and further educated herself in the safety & security area in the environment of SOTIF and ASPICE in 2022. As a result of the latter, she came up with the idea of the Normenblüte, which is intended to efficiently support hardware and software developers in their technical conception and comparison of risk analysis methods of various safety & security standards.

Expert in Preventive Quality Assurance
Coach for System and Process Design
Six Sigma Trainer and TroubleshooterAfter studying digital control technology at the TU, he first started as a development engineer at WABCO in Hannover. He dealt with ECUs for use in commercial and passenger vehicles. Thanks to his work with the system supplier, he had to deal with all aspects of the life cycle of a control unit; from the idea to design, series development and production as well as service and recycling. In doing so, he gained extensive experience in the field of hardware and software as well as mechanics and manufacturing technologies. After changing his field of activity, he moved to India and expanded his competence as a branch manager with experiences from the industry in Asia. After returning to Germany, he continued to head the development department here for several years. He then switched to the role of consultant in the field of preventive quality assurance.
He first encountered FMEA and Six Sigma in the late nineties and since then the topic has not let him go. As a Master Black Belt, he has mainly dedicated himself to preventive quality assurance through the use of 6σ methods in the last 10 years, true to the motto “With the right methods, hit the bull’s eye immediately”. He developed the special approach for the FMEA of hardware or software and made his contribution to the standardization of FMEA processes and neutral evaluation of their quality. In the field of process design, he dealt with the modeling of processes according to the SIPOC++ concept in order to determine their value creation and evaluate the efficiency already in the design phase.He is currently modeling the probability of success of improvement projects.
Today, in addition to his activity as a PQA expert at IAV, he works as an independent consultant / analyst and trainer for companies in Europe, Asia and America. He also works as a speaker for the German Society for Quality e.V. (DGQ) and other institutions.
