Six Sigma Green Belts are the first layer of practitioners in your Six Sigma initiative. Six Sigma Green Belts are trained to utilize fundamental Six Sigma tools to improve processes, within his or her function-specific area of the organization, typically in their respective department or unit. This focus allows the Green Belt to work on small, carefully defined Six Sigma projects, requiring less than a Black Belt’s full-time commitment to Six Sigma throughout the organization. Six Sigma Green Belts are equipped to establish basic measurement processes, collect and analyze data to establish causes for process failures, use proven methods to improve the process and establish mechanisms to ensure sustainability of the gains.
Six Sigma Green Belt training provides participants with enhanced problem-solving skills. Green Belt Six Sigma training is a subset of the Six Sigma Black Belt with a focus on using problem solving tools and techniques without the more advanced statistics of black belts. For organizations or individuals needing a strong foundation in six sigma but do not have the need for advanced statistics this is an excellent value.
