Black Belts are the Six Sigma gurus for large projects. However, companies need people well trained in Six Sigma throughout the organization. They need front line personnel who are positioned to have direct impact on how business is done. And, they need someone within the project group to support the Black Belt project leaders and to lead smaller projects.
Goals:
The goal of this workshop is to develop a Green Belt; an individual to act as a team member and partner in Black Belt projects. Green Belts also work on projects or lead in businesses that don’t require the advanced statistical tools of the Black Belts. You will learn to utilize the Six Sigma tools and techniques to address work-related projects and demonstrate competency in Six Sigma methods of process improvement. Over the course of the workshop you will have the opportunity to work with and complete a work related project that meets or exceeds the identified goals and measures.
The responsibilities of the Green Belt include:
- Helping to direct, conduct, collect data, and analyze data from experiments and business processes
- Work with process owners to ensure the project gains are maintained
- Disseminating best practices throughout the organization
Description:
Using a practical, hands on approach similar to that in the Black Belt workshop, Green Belts will be given a comprehensive education of the Six Sigma methodology and an overview of the philosophy, purpose, and process of Six Sigma. You will learn to utilize Six Sigma tools and techniques including problem solving methods (DMAIC) and design processes.
To facilitate project effectiveness, you’ll be taught how to identify significant performance gaps and how to use those gaps to generate potential projects. You will also learn how to properly define, scope projects, and then present the projects to peers and managers. BRAND CONSULTING GROUP, INC. will also give you guidance on transitioning and closing out existing projects.
