Live In-Person Event
Accelerate Innovation with Smarter Experiments
Date: 9 June 2026
Time: 09:30-13:30
Location: High Tech Campus Eindhoven, Netherlands
Registration: Free, but registration is required.
Are you struggling with inefficient research methods?
In today’s fast-paced research environment, time and precision are invaluable. Traditional experimental approaches that vary only one factor at a time (OFAT – One-Factor-at-a-Time) often lead to lengthy experiments and unclear results. Would you like to optimize your experimental processes, reduce the number of trials, and gain clearer insights?
Discover the benefits of DOE with JMP experts!
Our seminar is specifically designed for scientists and engineers who work with Research or production data. We will demonstrate how you can achieve maximum results using modern experimental design—Design of Experiments (DOE). This approach not only increases efficiency but also saves valuable time—so you can focus on what truly matters: innovation and discovery.
In addition, we will explore how effective data visualization helps uncover deeper insights from your experiments, and introduce Bayesian optimization as a powerful, modern approach to designing and guiding experiments more intelligently.
Take advantage of the opportunity to speak directly with technical experts (“Meet the Experts”) and see practical examples of DOE applications in action.

Kufuu Consulting
Winfried Theis is a very experienced statistical consultant and data science expert. He founded Kufuu Consulting in 2025 to support companies to develop and scale solutions, particularly in connection with the energy transition. But the core of the work is to help companies to understand, what they already know, what they actually need to know, and how they can use this knowledge to improve their business. All this with a particular focus on supporting the change management crucial for the sustainable success of any solution.
Before going independent, Winfried worked 14 years at Shell first as internal consultant supporting mainly product and process development, but also worked on scenario modelling and communication. Then he became Data Science Lead and helped to build the data science capability, finding the right data professionals and created the competency and learning framework to ensure a continued growth of the data capability.
Previous to Shell Winfried worked at Unilever R&D supporting consumer intervention studies and in particular the Sensory, Perception and Behaviour department for four years.
Winfried holds a PhD in applied statistics from the University of Dortmund. Currently he is also the President Elect of the European Network of Business and Industrial Statistics.
