Six Sigma Certification

Business & Marketing, Education, Personal Development & Improvement

Six Sigma Certification is not an easy process, but then few things in life worth having are. Six Sigma is a disciplined and intense process improvement methodology that began life with Motorola in the early Eighties and was subsequently made famous by Jack Welch of General Electric. It strives for relentless process improvement using the Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve and Control Methodology and has been proved to work consistently across both manufacturing and service industries. In fact, it can work effectively wherever there is a stable and repeatable business process.

The first level of Six Sigma Certification is Green Belt certification. Green Belts are trained with a strong working knowledge of the fundamentals of the Six Sigma process improvement methodology. They will apply these on discrete projects in their own existing work roles to eliminate defects and improve processes, under the guidance and supervision of a more experienced Six Sigma Black Belt. In many companies every employee is required to be Green Belt trained and it is often listed as a pre-requisite for promotion. Green Belts will be familiar with Cause and Effect Matrices, Yamazumi Charts, fishbone diagrams and process mapping tools. However there is no need for them to be trained in the inferential statistics and advanced data analysis toolkit that a Black Belt requires.

Six Sigma training programs recognize two further levels of Six Sigma certification – Black Belts, who are the shock troops of the revolution, and of course Master Black Belts who are the strategic visionaries and leaders at the top of the Six Sigma tree.
