About Six Sigma

Six Sigma professionals exist at every level – each with a different role to play. While implementations and roles may vary, here is a basic guide to who does what.

At the project level, there are black belts, master black belts, green belts, yellow belts and white belts. These people conduct projects and implement improvements.

Black Belt: Leads problem-solving projects. Trains and coaches project teams.
Green Belt: Assists with data collection and analysis for Black Belt projects. Leads Green Belt projects or teams.
Master Black Belt: Trains and coaches Black Belts and Green Belts. Functions more at the Six Sigma program level by developing key metrics and the strategic direction. Acts as an organization’s Six Sigma technologist and internal consultant.
Yellow Belt: Participates as a project team member. Reviews process improvements that support the project.
White Belt: Can work on local problem-solving teams that support overall projects, but may not be part of a Six Sigma project team.

Every project needs organizational support. Six Sigma executives and champions set the direction for selecting and deploying projects. They ensure, at a high level, that projects succeed, add value and fit within the organizational plan.

Champions: Translate the company’s vision, mission, goals and metrics to create an organizational deployment plan and identify individual projects. Identify resources and remove roadblocks.
Executives: Provide overall alignment by establishing the strategic focus of the Six Sigma program within the context of the organization’s culture and vision.

Six Sigma Green Belt & Black Belt Training provides you with a thorough knowledge of Six Sigma philosophies and principles ( including supporting systems and tools). A Certified Six Sigma Black Belt/Green Belt exhibits team leadership, understands team dynamics and assigns their team members with roles and responsibilities. They have a complete understanding of the DMAIC model in accordance with the Six Sigma principles, have a basic knowledge of lean enterprise concepts and they can quickly identify “Non-Value-Added” activities.

Maintaining Six Sigma

Black Belt

• To maintain the integrity of your Six Sigma Black Belt certification, ASQ requires that you recertify every three years.
• Two Ways to Recertify
  
  
  1. Recertification Journal: Obtain a minimum of 18 recertification units (RUs) during your three-year certification period. Document them in your recertification journal.
  2. Examination: Sit for the exam. (Required if your certification expired and is past the six-month grace period.)

The purpose of recertifying is to ensure that, as an ASQ-certified quality professional, you maintain the same level of knowledge originally demonstrated when you passed the written examination. If you do not recertify, your certification will lapse and ASQ will no longer recognize you as "certified."

Green Belt

Six Sigma Green Belt Certification has no recertification requirements. It is a lifetime certification.

Testimonials

Listen to what our 500+ PMP Customers say about us…

Jagadeesh Bodapati I choose them based on the fact that they are reasonably economical PMP trainers in but later realized that they are the best as well. A few of my friends attended other centers at double the cost and weren't happy at all. Instructor has been excellent in his teaching methods and gave a lot of examples. While writing the test the only thing I was thinking for all questions is 'How would Instructor answer this question?' Be very attentive when he is solving test questions and adopt his approach to pass this exam.I attended the training in May 2010 and wrote the test on April 22nd 2011 so in this one year I almost forgot most of the important things in PMP. I called the Academy Administrator and asked him if I could attend the training once again, before I take the exam a I wasn't sure of a few concepts and he readily agreed without any questions. This shows that they stand by their trainees and help them in whatever way they can. They aren't like other institutes who only look for money. Thank you very much for all the support. I am sure I will come back to you guys for more professional trainings in future. Sai Prasad, I have received 35 hours PDU training from the Academy and it was of great help.
